We are presenting correct exterior this ostentatious structure
in Monte Carlo. My two young children and I had flown to Italy a few days
earlier and it was our first trip to Europe. As an Australian mum rather nave
about European snappishness, some might call it snobbishness, and we parked the
car opposite and marched up to the door expecting to be let in. After all we
were tourists and in a rush to see whatever the country had to offer.
We had already visited the pink palace and the Napoleon
Museum, which was a great attraction for the youngsters. As they were just 9
and 10 years of age they knew nothing about any of the characters whose history
and likenesses were on display. But my son was greatly impressed with the
emperor's weapons and the horse he was riding.
We got some nice souvenirs and looked over the inside of the
palace. This type of luxury is not something we think too highly of, especially
as we have no class distinction at home. So why would someone want all of this
luxury and waste of money to support their life-style.
Monte Carlo is a small place and everything seems over the
top as far as wealth is concerned. The Best Mobile Bingo Sites UK 2018 is no different.
Of course it was frequently used in movies and there is song about breaking the
bank of Monte Carlo, all of which was in my mind when we confronted the doorman
who barred our entrance.
Was it our dress, or lack of it? It was hot and we had come
from the Australian winter so we were wearing shorts and T-shirts. On our feet
were the things that were the best and coolest for travelling in the car. Maybe
we didn't look the part as the patrons coming and going were dressed in suits
and ties. Maybe it was the age of the children. We never did find out as we
felt rejected and was told we could not enter.
Oh well! We wore the same get-up inside the Vatican and no
one objected. Later it occurred to me that as an escorted female, a crime in
Europe at that time, with two young kids in tow, we must have looked completely
out-of-place. They didn't know us and we certainly did not get to know them. In
a way, looking back at it, that doorman did us a huge favor because it was not
a place that a spiritual person like me should ever enter.
