Chapter 2 : In Monaco

Right when I got out of the bathroom I had to go up and down lots of big escalator.  Once I finally got out of the train station, there was a large sculpture of an old fashioned car, in honor of the Monte Carlo Grand Prix.  All around the car were different types of flowers that you never see in the United States.  It was so cool! after I saw the car I went to look for some lunch.  I found a cafe right next to a small carnival.  My goal was to try crepes.  After lunch, I decided to go on a large trampoline at the fair.  It was the most fun trampoline that I had ever been on.  If I went my highest, I could literally jump over the fence.  After the fair I went straight to the aquarium.  It was so cool!  The were so many different types of fish there!  I even saw a hammerhead shark.  After I left the aquarium, I looked around for a while, and I saw the most amazing thing ever.  A Ferrari store.  There were so many Ferrari there, I just couldn't believe it.  I looked at them for so long, before I knew it, it was time get back on to the Cruise Ship.

The Adventure Begins...

I woke up on the cruise ship late one morning.  I had to get as much sleep as possible.  I had a big day ahead of me.  After I got dressed I stepped off of the cruise ship and got onto a smaller boat to go to my first stop, Monaco, France.  But before we could go to Monaco, we had to start in Villefranche.  Once I got off of the boat,I decided to go straight to the beach.  Sadly, it was my first time in salt water in about five years.  I didn't stay there long because I didn't like the salt water.  I didn't have a towel, so I let the sun dry me off in the intense heat.  After the beach I went to the train station to be train tickets.  The train was late, so I had to wait for a while in the hot sun.  Once the train got into the station, I stepped onto the train.  I was glad to finally get somewhere that has air conditioning.  It only lasted for a few minutes though, because before I knew it, it was my stop.  Once I got off of the train, I ran into the nearest bathroom to get changed.  I have to say, the bathrooms there are a lot worse than in the United States.
