Flag of Monaco  ,
Saturday, May 14, 2005

Travelled from Nice by train to the principalty of Monaco, with highest GDP per capita in the world and they went and named a street after 'moi' isn't that nice!




Monte Carlo, had sunshine and the rain, Roulette and the one armed bandits machines I played on, wonderful rich men driving their porsche down to the shop to get their baguette and a coach full of bored retired tourists decked out in shorts, white trainers and a raincoat. Why I had not thought to bring one?


Lastly this place had Romance, the scenery, the smell of roses, the feel that it was so safe. But wait I was forgetting how wonderfully they planned this city, escalators outside on the street to help us a little, 'escaliers' which were actually secret subway for pedestrians and no metro in sight, but a way to easily get around the hilly landscape of Monaco. This was such a wonderful trip and only all in one day.
