Row, Row, Row Your Yacht

So this is Monaco:

What a gorgeous place, right? Because of their tax laws, it often attracts the rich and richer, which means that we had some fabulous boats to oogle at.  Ya, oogle.

Well-chosen name.

These will go nicely with our new wheels. Thank you.

We tried our hardest to meet a couple of handsome, young yacht owners who wanted to whisk us away, but alas, all I whisked was gelato into my stomach. No complaints!!

Much love!

Trying Our Luck at the Monte Carlo

Bonjour a tous,

Guess what! We get to keep living the fun of my trip with Bailey through pictures and happiness!! WOOOO!!!

So, while we were in Nice, the same day that we stopped in Èze Village, we went to the sovereign city-state of Monaco. (No, totally did not have to look that up.)

Our first stop off the bus was the beautiful Monte Carlo!

It's the one on the left.

Unfortunately, you can't take pictures inside, or else I'd show you what the lavish interior looked like.  We did, however, try our hand at some slot machines. I lost my 10 euro reeeeeally quickly. We don't need to talk about it.

Probably my favorite part of the Monte Carlo was all of the ridiculously beautiful cars parked out front.  Bailey convinced me to take a separate trip back up to the casino because we didn't take any pictures with the cars the first time.  I am so glad she did because if she hadn't we wouldn't have these beautiful snapshots:

My new ride.

Yes please.

Just stopping by the casino for a minute.

Girl's Day Out!

This was a huge reminder that sometimes you just have to be a tourist.  I'm pretty sure that every local was cracking up at us, but it was totally worth it!

Much love to all of you!

Èze On Down the Road

We knew before we ever got to Nice that we wanted to do a day in Monaco because it is just too cool to pass up.  However, what we didn't know is how many cool cities are along the way.  Like you've read, we stopped in Villefranche one day, and decided to stop in the village of Èze (pronounced like fez, minus the 'f') the following day.  It was a great little stop that can be done in about two hours or less.  Boo ya!

The whole village is made of stone!

Apparently the golden goat is a thing...

Buddies in Èze!

After exploring the village of Èze, we went to this perfume factory where we took a tour of the building, and were dumped into the gift shop.  Let's just say there was some damage done.

The craziest thing about this factory is that you could smell it all the way from where we were standing taking the picture below, if not before that!

Our spoils!

It was a great, girly stop on our way to Monaco!!

Loves.
