Allota Yachts

Hello all!

First of all, I have finally reached Saint Gallen in Switzerland where I will be undertaking my studies:

Before Saint Gallen, I spent my last four days in France in Nice. Despite having perpetual 30+ sunny days in France up to this point, it decided to be overcast and wet for two out of the four days in Nice, which was exactly what I wanted my French Riviera experience to be like. There's not really a lot to state about the French Riviera, as it's really just a party town full of yachts. So many yachts. It is beautiful, but I think four days was a little bit too much as unfortunately I own neither a yacht or an Aston Martin curse my middle class roots. And while their sea is quite beautiful as you will see below, their beaches are pebbles and resemble somewhat of a quarry.

 A 'beach'

 Promenade des Anglaise

 Apollo, just hanging like a Sun God does

 You do have to admit, it is a beautiful sea

 Nice Port, otherwise know as the City Parking Station

 Various shots of the Cote D'Azur on my way to Monaco. Curse the overcast weather

 Monaco, darling

 Apparently Monaco needs a new Yacht Club. No idea why.

 Monte Carlo Casino

 View of Monaco Harbour and The Fairmont. Clearly I can not afford to stay here.

 Garnier, who designed the Parisian Opera House, also designed the casino. I love that guy.

 S-Class Mercedes waiting outside somewhere in Monaco? Standard.

 So many yachts.

 In the event that the Royal Navy's Flotilla of Yachts cannot stop an attack, there's always these cannonballs.

 The Oceangraphy Institute, which apparently is quite prestigious around the world.

 Before I went to the aquarium that day, I had this conversation with a guy from Louisiana:

Him: Where you from?
Me: Wollongong, near Sydney.
Him: Oh! I've seen Finding Nemo! Is it like that?
Me: ...Not really. I've seen True Blood; is Louisiana like that?

 I finally stopped to look at the flowerboxes that grace Monaco, and it turns out they're full of lantana. This greatly amuses me.

I promise I will write about Switzerland sometime this week.
