Bleo's European Adventures: Eze & Monaco

So today we made our way to Eze (a little village between Nice and Monaco) and then continued to Monaco.

Eze is where they do the Ferrari driving. So, as you can see from the pictures, Blake was able to tick driving on the French Riviera in a convertible fast car off his bucket list (his words entirely, not mine). Getting from there to Monaco was a little tricky but we managed to get there after a few hours, a crazy bus ride, a long walk, a longer wait for a taxi, a drive... and finally. We arrived.

To be quite honest, we were both a little disappointed with it. I think the overwhelming heat may have had something to do with that, and the fact that the town is really not that tourist friendly... even though I speak French, which in Paris and Nice has been very helpful, over there, it just wasn’t really. We wandered through the Musee Oceanographique de Monaco, which was good – then did the very touristy thing of sitting in one of those little trains with the headphones and got a tour of the town – only we hopped off at the Casino. See the photos below, and notice that Blake was in HEAVEN. Each car is nicer then the next, more expensive, lower, faster... boy stuff. I was more interested in the window displays of very very shiny rocks...

We tried to find the beach and failed – so decided to head home at about 3pm. The heat really got to both of us today, so much that it’s only 6pm and Blake has already passed out.

It’s a shame we didn’t have longer there to explore some more as I’m told it really is a beautiful little country. Maybe some other time.

We head for Barcelona tomorrow morning and have a 5 days there – it’ll be so nice to finally settle somewhere for longer then 2 nights.

So... see you in the land of the Spaniards xx
