was a bit 'of time that I came Monaco, last weekend we were in a boat, guests of a beloved friend. Two nights at anchor, the first Saint-Jean Cap Ferrat , the second in Villefranche . Third and fourth night in Port Hercule , the port of Monaco. Although our owner is a xenophilous convinced, I could not fail to compare that beautiful stretch of coast with its continuation the Italian Ligurian one. What emerges is that the villages, in themselves, are much less attractive: in terms of artistic and architectural heritage there is no comparison, Portovenere, Portofino, Cinque Terre, Lerici and so away, have a different atmosphere, a more charming. The point, however, is that they are not cared for, according to the old (and unfortunately true) rumor that the French healthy sell better, even if the material available, it is modest.
Monaco, Monte Carlo, however, are another story: the greater the perception that I had is that there all be on vacation for a lifetime, no one works . Compared with other international places of holiday, such as Porto Cervo and St. Moritz, where it is clear that the tourists are on holiday "on time", between a CDA and another in Monte Carlo, looking people in the eye, you feel the next day will not be in office. MC is an island to enjoy the golden inheritance and pensions.
Some trivial observations:
-Hotels change names but not appealing: Fairmont Le Meridien and, in true American style, seem to airport terminals.
-Supercar in profusion, but all stand out Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Ferrari .
-Dispelling the myth that the police would be very strict in prosecuting emulating Schumacher: the Maserati with which we moved (driven by "professional" editor's note) has walked briskly to the F1 track, more than once, and most already set to host the next Grand Prix.
- Atlantis , historic yacht Niarchos family, and Pacha III, the Grimaldi, are two wonders, though opposed to the message they carry. The first is a true manifestation of power (105mt, was the answer to Christina Onassis), the second a gem steeped in tradition, lightness and elegance.
-Al Sass, piano bar that draws a lot Later, the bar is lined with bottles of vodka with a label on it: it is the customer's name and date of purchase, so that the delay sipossa at will.
-Regarding the "Vodka Wars", the battle was won in Monaco (and largely) from Grey Goose . The French, here, have certainly dettto law.
-The Jimmy'z is a great local, well attended and fun. Too bad for the service painful, especially if compared to what is dear.
Weekend fun, though, and definitely over the top, but here the tale can not continue.
