Pics from my weekend in Monaco (I'm such a baller)

... but only if ballers balk at $25 drinks!

Words cannot describe how amazing Monaco is. Stunning scenery. Beautiful people. Amazing cars. And delicious food. And the opportunity to brush up on my French.

So let's see how pictures convey things...

Here's a pic of the city of Monte Carlo, taken from the side of a mountain road:


Here's another pic of the same thing. A bit closer and taken during a different time of the day:


Here's some cool building:


While walking back from a club (in somewhat of a drunken stupor), and amidst all the Bentlys, Ferraris, Maybachs and Bentlys, we actually found an EVO! And a red one at that!:


And now back at the hotel's restaurant at 4am, here's our reaction to the price of food:

Steph: "Good God! Look at the price of this hamburger!"
Me: "Oh come on, how bad can it be!?"


Me: "What!? The price has an unnecessary Zero at the end of it! ($40!)"
Steph: "I knowwww!!"


Me: "Screw that... can't we just get some bread and water?"
Steph: "Grrr.. you cheap bastard!!! I'm HUNGY!"

The view from the back of the hotel:


And at a night club, we conduct a Blue Steel demonstration, American-style!!:


Video of us drifting our Alfa Romeo through the moutain roads of Monaco:

... Understeer my ***, Mr Gerrard. That's full lock baby!!

Enjoy!!

Typical Monaco night club. This one is called JimmyZ and it is a hotspot for celebrities. Like Warrtalon, for instance. :
