Travelling

Day 17-

So today we spent the say crusing down to nice and Monte Carlo to check out what all the fuss was about. Well as soon as we hit the main beach road, battlecar galactica was out of her comfort zone. Cars worth more then houses, continually sped by as we clung to the side the mediterrianian coast. The roads were windy, the views spectacular. We stopped for some strawberries that were being sold on the side of the road. Most amazing strawberries any of us had ever tasted! Also at $17 euro a kilo, were still worth it.
When arriving in Monte Carlo, Jez had a bit of a drive around the circuit and we stopped to stare at all the amazing yachts. One even had a helicopter on top of it! The amount of money that some of these people have is crazy and actually a real eye opener to see such wealth up close.
That night we got glammed up and hit the casinos. Jez and I lost money and then before it got too bad, called it a night. caity got to try blackjack and she won some money which was good. It was all a bit out of our comfort zone and many people were not very accommodating towards us because of our inexperience. After that we decided to drive around a bit more (Jez was dese) and we all got pulled over for a rutine car check. They were not used to our battlecar at all. It was a bit awkward when about 8 of them came and shined their torches on our massive pile of alcohol and a tad funny when one of them thought dugalds name was a joke, but we got their in the end.
