The Day we saw 3 countries in one day like it was nothing

We have just finished an accidental detour which has been incredible. Our original plan was to take an overnight train from Paris to Genova, Northwestern Italy. But it was completely booked so had to change our reservation. So instead we took a train to Cannes (Where they have the big film festival each year, and quite close to Nice) in the South of France. We stayed in this amazing Gothic Mansion, where the owner was renting out a few rooms quite reasnobly. We pretty much dropped our bags and went with our other roomie, Jen from Louisana, to a Lebanese restaurant. It was a really nice night.
The next morning (yesterday) we had our earliest start yet (8 oclock) to catch a train to the second smallest country in the world, Monte Carlo/Monaco. It was blinged out and awesome. It seemed that everyone either had a Porsche or a Ferrari. It was definitely not a country short on money! We did a bit of shopping, Troy even considered buying another knife! Eventually we both got some new sunglasses, Chris because he sat on his in Paris and Troy, just because they looked good. And then we watched our second changing of the guard in Europe, equally impressive.
We went into this amazing chocolate shop and almost brought some to bring home as presents, until we realised that the chances of keeping it unmelted were extremely slim! So sorry! No Monte Carlo chocolate coming home with us!
We cruised into Italy at 2am. We had been awake for 6 hours and been in 3 countries. Not a bad effort!
