So we hit up Monte Carlo and here's the quick and dirty of the trip. We missed our train and played cribbage on the ground outside the train station for about an hour waiting for the next one. Not a good way to start the trip.
Monaco has tons of underground tunnels and I never knew where I was going to come out.
There are lots of huge buildings built into the cliffs along the water, and you can pretty much see the entire "country" from the beach.
Hiked up the many stairs to the palace which turned out to be pretty mediocre, but there were some good views from that high in the city.
The Monte Carlo casino is not nearly as large as I had expected, but super super fancy. No flashing lights and all high roller tables. Plus, you have to pay a fee just to enter so we hit up the slot machines near the entrance just to say we gambled a bit.
We made it back to Nice and chatted with Simo a bit before catching a bus to the airport where I found out my bag has grown to 19.4 kilos... or about 45 pounds. Oops.
