We arrived in Monaco two days ago, after taking the high-speed train from Brussels to Nice (Nice is only 20 minutes by train from Monaco). It is really warm here, but it’s really beautiful in the shade, by the ocean, and at night. I’m a wuss though, and after a while in the sun I get headaches. Thanks Dad, I know I got that from you!
People here are super, super friendly, although most don’t speak English. Again, I am lucky I have P with me to translate. And I remember a few words from high school French – although probably not enough to get by alone (Je ne parle pas Francais! Je ne comprends pas! Je suis stupide!). There are also loads of really rich people here (surprise, surprise), and loads of fancy yachts in the marina.
I can’t check my email and might not be able to for a few more days. (Weeks? I hope not. Or I might cry.) Who cares anyway, I’m off galavanting around the European countryside. And now, I’m going to take a boatride around Monaco in a catamarang with glass viewing panels on the lower level. Rock.
Sounds you’re having lots of fun
I am! We’re leaving Monte-Carlo tonight, which is kind of good because it’s been thundering for the past two days. It is seriously pissing down right now. I haven’t even been to the beach yet!
I have LOADS of photos to upload, but I haven’t been able to find wireless, or an internet cafe that lets my laptop plug into and work. Hopefully soon!
Do you have a WLAN sniffer on your iBook?
No, but we’ll find wireles soon hopefully!
