So Angela leaves today and I will be left all on my lonesome... I have made a few friends at the hostel I am staying at so hopefully it wont be too lonesome. It has been quite the few days, many travel troubles. Like for instance the fact that the eurostar that goes from paris to london is almost booked up and all that is left are like 300 dollar seats. Apparently with people not wanting to fly they have resorted to taking the train which is making my final days hectic. This strange thing about this is that I thought okay next resort flying and maybe it will be cheaper since apparently no one wants to do it BUT NO...it is the opposite hella expensive. I found a flight that arrives in London the day before I fly out and so I had to rearrange a few things and find another hostel for the night in London.... it is not going to be a fun last few days for me. Hopefully I will have fun on the beach for my last few days.
So far in Nice we went to the beach one day in Ville Franche a little town
Angela's tan line
Not quite as dark as mine but she is getting thereoutside of Nice with a pretty sandy beach. We obviously picked the best spot on the beach due to this very good looking french guy. Ange usually has weird taste but I am not going to lie this guy was Hot.... but of course since we spent the day looking at him the weirdest most awkward guy comes up to tell Angela she is beautiful in french, which I am sure he spent hours assessing the fact that she would not understand him. To his shock I responded in french telling him that although she didnt speak french and didnt understand what he said that I did and I would be sure to tell her as soon as he left. HAHAHA. He then got up the nerve a few minutes later to give Angela his number, even though she made it clear that she would be leaving tomorrow (she lied a bit). Soooooo that was pretty much all the events that happened at the beach, minus this cute little girl we met who decided she knew how to use Angelas Ipod... to our surprise and to her fathers as well, she actually did figure things out. That night we were
almost talked into venturing down the hill to a kareoke bar but decided that free internet and sleep was way more inticing.
Yesterday we decided to go at least take a look at Monaco and the Casino in Monte Carlo. It was amazing.... I could have sworn I saw James Bond hanging around in his Bmw... some guys definitely told us how when they went in the casino they ordered Martinis shaken not stirred........ and were served them by waiters who tried to keep straight faces. There was obviously a couple ferraris outside, I concluded they couldnt have been anyone importants because people were actually touching them, some fat kid was laying all over it, I am pretty sure I saw drool coming out of his mouth it was pretty disgusting. I am not going to lie we took a couple pictures with it. I justify it by the fact that the car was red and red is obviously my favourite. Anyway the way people were all over it couldnt have been important, some rich guy trying to feel special and show off... Angela in her idealist world thought the man was just trying to be nice and let people
share in his fortunes. BLAH.... I dont agree. We saw the man drive away.... probably American .. Oil money thats my guess.... hahaha I dont know why. Obviously we made up some good stories about most of the people we met. Especially in the restaurant where we had the most expensive yet disgusting meal of our lives next to a couple of Bristish people who were obviously talking about how they cant wiat to get married so they can stop working .. i think this statement was followed by "well its not like i actually work... more like boss other people around, but i just dont want to be doing that for the rest of my life, i need a break" OHHH most entertaining meal ever. We had to try our hand at a little bit of gambling. I still dont understand this computerized slot machines that you dont even know how to play and when you win minus the fact that it makes a happy noise. I lost money.... but Angela who loves the simplistic games played 5 euros and ended up leaving with 19. It was pretty good but I think Ill stick with table games, which couldnt
Monte Carlo Casino
Do you see James in the background.... look harder. be done at this casino since the minimum bet was around 200 bucks, a little out of my price range.
SO after a stressful day of travel troubles and hanging out with the rich we hung out at our hostel and relaxed. We relaxed for awhile because we didnt get to bed till about 4 in the morning... and we are now up ready to head to another day at the beach. Angela leaves tonight at 10pm on a jet plane... dont know when shell be back again... yeah lamest moment ever but i thought it was necessary.
I am done.... now time for the last blog with pictures ...sad face
Bye for now
Gabrielle
