Monaco | ...nothing special

Monaco, concept of unmistakable luxury for many of us. But it was tourist paranoia for us. We can not say we would not like it, but ...

The entrance to the city by car is not possible for tourists. So we made a TGV trip. The train station is located right in the center and is built in the rock - splendor. You will go straight to the harbor where you will have a breathtaking view of the billionaire yachts. Wau! When you turn your back, you have to change the view of the city / state, which is actually set all set in the rock.

Trying to find the restaurant was in vain. Either you will find a smaller bistro, where you can get a salad at the price of a nice restaurant. Food prices are due to everything being imported, agriculture does not exist in Monaco ... If you want to eat, you have to go to hotels or port clubs for the rich.

We both were in Vegas and we were looking forward to seeing the casino again. Especially the most famous. Monte Carlo Casino is within a 10-minute walk of the marina. BUT - Entry is forbidden to all visitors who wear sneakers or flip-flops... Daska had flip-flops but with straps around, so they let her in, while Eri went to the drink bar. "With a curious curiosity, I entered a hall that majestically dominated the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, and I almost slipped on the marble on the ground." When I wanted to enter the game zone, I was told I had to pay the entrance of 17eur, which I laughed because I saw that the playing tables are empty. There was one player who were leaving and he recommended that I do not go in, that's not worth it. " Then we, me and Eri, exchanged the shoes to see it.

Of course, you will find one luxury store after another, for us, as well as a number of unfamiliar brands where you can forbid anything to shoot. Just for the idea of ​​a 2,000eur stones cloth :)

So when we summarize it. It's nice there, but they only show you that you do not belong there ...
