Money for nothing and chix for free!!!
Well the I awoke yesterday in the early morning and had my free breakfast at the hostel which consisted of toast and cereal and juice that was apparantly the miricle elixir for curing hangovers. I had a few glasses of juice during which I met a nice 18 year old Swedish girl named Anna. She had plans to go to Monaco for the day so I asked if I could join her. With a "yes" for an answer we jumped onto the next train and headed towards the Money. On arriving and departing the train station we were immediatly met with super yachts that seemed to stretch the entire length of the horizon, yeap they were massive. We kept walking and walking and basically were staggered by the amount of Lamborghinis, Bentleys, Ferraris, Porches , Jaguars and Chargers passing us. WOW this town is for rich people......we later confirmed this theory when I purchased a 1L bottle of water for 3.5 euro (sting). We spent the day wandering the streets and pondering just where did all this money come from. We later agreed that it must be the fruits of prostitution, drugs, rock and roll and possibly intelligence but judging by their arrogance maybe the later could be excluded. We returned to Nice after exploring Monaco and Montecarlo and I found out that I had forgotten to book that nights accomodation....good times. I ended up staying up most of the night before sneaking into the hostel and sleeping in the foyer...sweet. Today I caught the bus back to Marseille from Nice for 18 euro and I then booked a ticket to Geneva in Switzerland in the hopes of progressing upwards to see my Grandparents who have recently purchased a " Bed and Breakfast" style accomodation within the blackforest. So here I am at 4pm waiting for the 7pm train to Geneva. I am quite excited for I think I may get to glimpse the alps as the sun sets....wish me luck!
