Shiny Cars and Race tracks!

Hey Guys,

So Alyssa did the last post and we're switching it up every time we go to a new place! And since I love shiny cars and racing and such, I thought Monaco would be a perfect fit for me! After Eze that Friday morning we took another twenty minute bus ride up to Monaco. We were slightly confused on where to get dropped off, but thankfully the driver told us the last stop was the one we could get off.

Once getting off, we all noticed that Monaco was a lot more urban than we suspected it was going to be, a little more urban that Nice, and definitely more urban than Eze, but nonetheless we were ready to explore. We walked down the road, taking in the sights of bigger buildings, smells of gasoline, and sounds of cars zooming by. Our first task was to get down to the Casino to see it since Justine had already been to Monaco she suggested thats where we go. We walked down through what seemed like some sort of indoor/outdoor mall. Then we came upon a park that had gorgeous fountains, and an lower look of the city.

As we ventured down towards the Casino we saw a huge thing of bleachers, we then figured that they were for the races in Monaco that had just occurred the weekend before. We got a great view of the Casino, and better yet, all of the shiny, pretty, and expensive cars down below. My first objective, get down from the bleachers. So we walked down and the first beautiful car my eyes laid on was a bright blue, Lambroghini Mercialago, half my height which was amazing, but I was still googley eyed. As we went around to the Casino, my eyes feasted on more cars such as Roll Royces, Ferraris, Mercedes, Bentleys, and others. A few cars seemed out of place, but regardless those people had the privilege to park there car there.

So we went up to the Casino, and like everyone else, we were able to go in the lobby, use the restroom, and that was it. The lobby was gorgeous with huge stone columns, but the bathroom wasn't that impression which was ironic. Just as I was about to head into the Casino I turned around and let out a boyish squeaks, a bright orange Lambroghini had just pulled up, the driver handed the keys off to the valet who then proceeded to park the awesome car next to the OTHER Lambo (all black). Only the best out front I do say.

After being overloaded with all of the cars, (mostly me) we went down to get a view of the Marina, even more lavish items down just in the water. Tons of yachts with names such as Pegasus and other fun titles. There was a great view of the castle where Justine explained that was where the princess resided.

After a full day, of Eze and Monaco we were ready to head back, get a nice dinner from the hostel and head to bed! Great first day in Nice if I do say so myself. Un autre jour mes amis!
