Day 57

---

Okay well we woke up around 9.30/10am...painfully
After getting ready and dropping off our bags with luggage storage we had an hour before we were meeting up with one of ang's friends of a friend that lives in Nice. We went to a local cafe and I had the best late I have EVER had...we also did alittle shopping where I found this really cute pinky ring that I could not resist buying.

At 12.30 we met up with Stephan....his first language def was not english but he showed us around parts of nice we probably would not have seen without him...specifically to the base of this castle off a cliff in Nice, with AMAZING views.

We had a three course lunch and really took in everything....even had some gelato although it was not that warm.

After all of it Ang and I went back to the hostel and got ready to go to Monaco for the night, specifically monte carlo...its only a 20 min train from Nice.

the train was delayed....very annoying, but monte carlo was worth the wait

Angela and I ACTUALLY went inside the CASINO and drank a glass of champagne at the bar there while watching all of the highrollers bet their fortunes.....the place reeked of money....I couldnt belive it.....even the toilets....they washed themselves...lol

Well after that very rich experience we went to this GREAT resturant....the simplist foods, expensive prices, but AMAZING taste
I got tomate, mozerella and capers with basil, then a canoli for dessert.....the bEST mozerella I have ever had too

Well the night was topped off with another train delay, but overall a FANTASTIC night
