Monaco and Nice

Hi All

Got to Nice yesterday, seems like a pretty bitching town although I haven't really had the chance to do much exploring yet, that is for tomorrow. Rocked out Monaco today, the place is really nice, embedded in the cliffs overlooking a vast harbour. The place just breathes money. I probably saw more BMW's and Mercedes' than I saw Renault's, Citroen's and Peugeots combined, not to mention the massive yachts. There were also a healthy number of Porsches and Bentleys, I even saw a Rolls!! I walked the Grand Prix circuit, which was pretty cool, although sometimes difficult due to a lack of sidewalks in places. They are setting up for the Monte Carlo rally, which is currently running over near Valence, France but they are set to arrive in Monaco tomorrow. Then I had lunch at a sandwich place that is located in what becomes the F1 pitlane and then went for a walk up the hill to the Royal Palace and Old Monaco. The palace is really cool although you can't go in, they have guards in ceremonial dress and machine guns walking around in front of the door "politely" reminding you that you can't enter. The place is really loaded with F1 paraphanelia, which is cool, but all retardedly overpriced. Then I rocked the city of Monaco itself, which is just the other side of the old town, not quite as nice as Monte Carlo, but still impressive enough. Saw the museum of the Prince's personal car collection, a disapointingly low number of F1 cars though. I also walked by the Monte Carlo casino, which is surrounded by super expensive cars. I will post some later impressions of Nice so bye for now from the Cote D'Azur!!!!
