Monaco 1991

in TravelFeed3 days ago

Monaco is so expensive that we could not even get off the bus! From memory we just drove past some famous casino then it was back on the main road heading into Italy. I can not remember if we were behind time or the place was just not set up for young tight arse tourists like us. As it is unlikely that I will ever get back there again with so many other places I would still like to go. Anyway I am going to call it my 36th country I have been lucky enough to visit or in this case travel through on a bus with a group of other young 18 to 35 years olds, just trying to get a taste of what Europe was all about. None of my own photos of Monaco to speak of but I did buy a post card probably in Italy and sent it home. I think I had 800 pounds spending money for my six week bus tour of Europe but only ended up collecting a hand full of post cards. There might have been a few drinks along the way but I suppose the overall experience was priceless.

The coastline looks a lot more built up now than my 1991 post card but there is still a bit of greenery left. It is very interesting to compare places years apart. This photo By Diego Delso, CC BY-SA 4.0, was in 2016 https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=50317414

My tour was slightly different to this we went from Paris to Barcelona in Spain then the French Riviera and through Monaco into Italy.

My roommate keeps saying that our house is haunted.
But I've lived here for last 216 years, and haven't heard anything unusual.
