More things to do in Monaco!
Classes were cancelled again today because of snow. But it turned out to be one of my most favourite days here so far. It was so sunny, about nine degrees and no clouds in the sky. So, we decided to make the most of it and my friend Ryan, Nicole and I went to Monaco for the day. We wanted to go a little less dressed up and really explore this city (country, or whatever.) We walked ALOT and ended up skating near the port. It was only 6 euros to rent a pair of skates for half an hour. So worth it. We also walked up to the palace and got an amazing view of Monaco. We went out for lunch, ate crepes and went to a petting zoo too. To top it all off, we ventured our way back towards the casino and found a Laduree store, which is Nicole's favourite thing in the whole world. They sell the best macarons. I had raspberry, so yummy.

Top 5 Things to do in Monaco
1. Go to the Monte Carlo Casino.
It's world famous, and stunning. It costs 10 euros to get in, and don't forget to bring your passport, but it's worth it. The architecture alone is something to marvel at, and so are all the Bentley's and Rolls Royce's parked out front - if that's your thing (not really mine)
2. Go up to the Royal Palace.
I personally haven't done this yet, because I was wearing heels and Monaco is very hilly so I didn't feel like doing the trek. But, some of my friends did and said it was amazing and the view was beautiful. They were there for the changing of the guards and apparently it was really something.
3. Gamble.
I'm not a gambler, by any means but I budgeted 10 euros for pure gambling because I figured, why not? When in Rome right? So, I ended up doing slots because the minimum hand at the tables were quite steep, and I wouldn't know what to do there anyways. I ended up getting some Bonus thing on the "Red Code" slot machine and won 25 Euros after putting 5. I decided to cash out immediately. However, all my friends there were so excited for me and pressured me into doing it again. So I did, and I won another 22.80 Euros, and cashed out right away. Some of my other friends weren't as lucky.
4. Go to the Monaco Opera.
We didn't plan on this, just kind of stumbled upon it. A man gave us free tickets outside the entrance to the Monte Carlo Casino and the Operahouse is actually in the same building, so we decided to go for it. It was only 45 minutes long, and technically a dress rehearsal, but I still enjoyed it. I had no idea what they were singing about, but it was impressive. Apparently this Opera House is one of the most beautiful in world. I haven't seen any others, but I don't doubt it for a second.
5.Go to Buddha Bar.
It's a classy and trendy bar located in the same building as the Monte Carlo Casino. You can't miss it with all the beautiful people and beautiful cars out front. Ladies wearing mink coats following their spouses who are 35-45 years their senior into this beautiful building. But, we went in, had a 15 euro glass of wine (with my winnings) and left an hour later. There were about 12 of us and it was the perfect way to end the night. The prices on the menu here change at 8pm though, so be careful !!!
