Started the day with a trip to a French perfumery, unfortunately my head was so stuffed up that I couldn’t smell anything, so I guess I’ll have to get those pressies in Singapore.
After the perfumery we were dropped in Nice to mix it with the rich and famous and buy ourselves some flash clothes for our night at the Monte Carlo casino in Monaco. Since I didn’t pack any dress pants or shoes I had a bit of shopping to do. Managed to pick up a nice pair of strides and some shoes. Since I was on a roll I got a shirt, belt and socks too.
On the way to the Monte Carlo we did a hot lap of the Monaco grand prix track, not as quick as Schumaker though.
Well the Monte Carlo casino wasn’t really what I was expecting. Unlike Australian or American casinos the Monte Carlo isn’t all loud and flashing lights. Its actually very quiet and subdued but the rooms are all immaculate with enormous chandaliers and ornate frescoes on the ceilings. In general it really does give you the feeling of wealth, the Bentley’s, Masserati’s, Aston Martin’s, Ferrari’s and other European cars parked out th front help. I had a bit of a punt on the roulette table. Didn’t do too bad put €50 on the table and ended up walking away with about €175
