B in Berlin: NICE WAS NICE

This past weekend I took a trip out to to the Côte d'Azur. I never thought that I'd ever be able to visit this place cause, I used to live on the other side of the world, and it's not necessarily a cheap trip. But since I live in Berlin now, and flights were "cheap" I figured why not. NO REGRETS. Booked my ticket a few weeks ago, got a place on AirBNB (don't know what I'd do without them) and took Friday off work just because. I was scheduled to fly out at 10am on Friday but the flight got pushed back until 1pm, I was upset but whatever, it could've been worse.

NICE

Flying to Nice was about 2hours form Berlin, and soon as I got off the plane, I was slapped with tropical paradise. As you know from my rants, Berlin weather is just fan-tab-ulous, so this warm, sunny, clear blue sky was a welcomed change. Travelling light is AMAZING!!!! No need to check bags in, no need to wait for bags at baggage claim, no fears about losing your shit. You just get on, get off, and get out! So onto the bus I went..

Go to my place, dropped of my shit and headed to explore!

CANNES

Woke up nice at early on Saturday since I wanted to go to Cannes and Monaco. Packed my backpack, headed out and grabbed some breakfast at the bakery, hopped on the tram and straight to the train station. I had 2 options to get to Cannes. Pay 1€ and take a bus that took the scenic route that took around an hour or pay 4€ (I think) and take the train that took about 40 mins. I would've done the bus but I read online that there are often delays because of traffic and this can actually make the trip take well over an hour so since I was tight on time, the train was my only option. It still offered nice views of the sea! I wasn't quite sure where to go once I exited the station but I just walked towards the water and followed some people.

hoping to find D. Bilzerian and get invited to pawty....

Next thing you know, I'm at the port where all the ballas at.

Cannes was pretty small, and to be honest, not much to see; not enough money ='(. So I finished my touristy shit pretty early. I had been contemplating buying swim shorts in Berlin before going on the trip but I figured I didn't have time to swim, so no point. This is where I got anal raped, by a cactus, no lube. Unlike Nice, the beach was actually sand and the water.. the water.. was soooooooo clear. So since I had time to kill, I figured, fuggg it, why not; YOLO, right? Found a store, went in, and..

THESE PEOPLE WERE THE SMALLEST, DINKIEST, SHORTEST, TIGHTEST SWIM SHORTS OF LIFE. THEY WERE PRACTICALLY SPEEDOs WITH EXTENSIONS.

Shorts: 35€ (regular length ones)

Towel: 20€

Dinky-ass Sunscreen: 15€

The feeling of being raped: Priceless

There are some things money can buy, for everything else, bend over.

how can you not want to dive in?

MONACO

the views...

After drying off and eating, I hopped back onto the train and headed the other ways towards Monaco. I thought Cannes was pretty expensive.. shit i was fucking wrong. Monaco is on another level. If you ain't pushin' a Rarri, Lambo, Rolls, Bentley, something AMG, Aston Martin, etc.. you ain't shit.

Monte Carlo Casino

no big deal....only a few other ferraris, bentleys, rolls, an Aston Martin DBS, and lambos not pictured..

Oh and it was full of brands that I couldn't pronounce. Like whats a Hermès, BVLGARI, Céline, Valentino, Piaget, etc.....? The moment I got there, I knew I wouldn't stay for long. I mean.. a damn tiny bottle of Powerade costed me 4€... like where they do that at? And based on the way I was dressed (shorts, tshirt, fitted) they probably thought I was homeless.
