Todays theme was "fish day." This was because we saw a lot of fish today. After taking the short train ride to Monaco, we made our way to the aquarium. We got their pretty much just as they were opening and were able to see them feed all of the fish. (it made up for the day before). My favorite to see was watching the sea horses suck up little teenie brine shrimp floating around in the water. There was also a guy trying to remove a fish that had something wrong with its eye. I only mention this because it [View Full Entry]

There is a feeling in the air when you arrive at the Monaco, Monte Carlo Train station. You walk down the marble hallways and sun hits you in the face as you walk onto the street. The air carries a certain aroma, it has the smell of money. Everywhere you look there are Ferrari's driving the streets, luxury yachts filling the harbour and a lot of high numbers on menus. Only a stones throw from Nice (which is isn't exactly a run down city itself) Monaco is, as they say, a playground for the rich and famous. The first thing we [View Full Entry]

After checking in to our hotel at Nice in the French Riviera, Jarrad drove us into the country of Monaco were you have to apply to Prince Albert if you want to be a citizen. After dinner looking over the grand prix track he took us down the starting grid and for a spin around the track. Revving it up on the starting line to the sound of Formula 1 cars revving. He can do amazing things in that bus. We arrived at the Grand Casino Monte Carlo - the minimum bet was 5 Euro's ($10) so our money didnt last [View Full Entry]

I know I have not yet posted anything on the four-country drive we undertook a few days ago, or about our stay in Cannes -- still to come. I just had to post a quick few shots I took last night coming home from sushi in Moncao... I will say that the road trip continues: today we leave Cannes (and the largest collection of D&G, Chanel and Dior Sunglasses in the world) and head back toward the UK. I am hoping we will real Lascaux tonight so we can see the caves in the morning. [View Full Entry]

Laura and I are still in Nice. Yesterday we travelled to Monaco and Monte Carlo. We visted the castle and saw the changing of the guard (i want to touch the cannon) and also went to a very poorly kept zoo. Colchester beats it by far but still we got to see a hippo! The train ride was absolutely beautiful along the coast, the train looks like its floating on water when you can't see over the edge! The cliffs are just amazing. We were planning on heading to Sardinia today but looking at the boat prices we are decided against [View Full Entry]

...(continued from the last entry) My brother had driven to Cannes, so I took the helm. The highway was great as we made our way to Monaco. It was late afternoon, and the only thing that pissed us off, was the fact that there are tolls every 5km--good thing they accept credit cards. The climb and descent into Monaco was terrific. It gets your blood pumping, as you want to take the car a bit faster around the bends, but not knowing the roads, slow it down. The streets are perfect, clean, and beautified to presicion. Trees, shrubs, and flowers are [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone. Lucy is typing today. But I am currently in a youth hostel in florence on their computer and the keyboard is kinda loopy. So excuse my typing!! So I think we left you all after our first night in Monaco. Here is some stuff about the rest of our days there: DAY 2!! Today we had a beach day which was a chance for some much needed rest. We went down to the beach at about 11 and promptly coated ourselves in factor 25 suncream. No need to worry Sharon! We then lay out for a little while on [View Full Entry]

Having planned a weekend in Paris to see the Chili Peppers and an impromptu weekend in Rome to meet up with my friend Claudia (upcoming blog), I was only left with one weekend in Nice. So, what did I do? I left Nice, of course! Well, in a different way though. I went on three day trips—Cannes, St. Paul de Vence, and Monaco (Friday, Saturday, Sunday respectively). First stop: Cannes. Four of us from school decided to go to Cannes for the day, enjoy the city and the beach, and then go out for dinner. Well, of course, every other day [View Full Entry]
