Monaco Open for Easter

We flew down to Monaco on a Friday morning to see the tennis. It was a rainy day at Heathrow. We sat in the executive lounge and had some breakfast while watching the planes taking off.

Despite of the bad weather, Heathrow looked good, with all the colorful planes coming in and out in every direction. Nice is a quick flight from London, so we arrived in just over an hour. It was a bit chilly in the South of France, but the scenery was beautiful. We took a taxi to the Hotel de Paris, dropped our luggage off and headed out to see the tennis. When we arrived, Nadal was playing against David Ferrer. Unfortunately Nadal lost in two sets.

Afterwards we saw Federer playing against Tsonga. Tsonga won the first set, but then Federer turned the game around and ended up winning in three sets.

We also saw Djokovic playing against a Spaniard. The game was similar to Federer's game. The Spaniard won the first set, then Djokovic turned the game around and won the game. By the third game it got really chilly in the stadium. Even though I looved the scenery with the mountains behind the tennis court, it got quiet cold in the end.

At night, we ended the day in SASS Cafe. After dinner the athmosphere was amazing! Everyone was dancing on the tables. We had a fantastic time. Although, we were tired from the trip so went to bed pretty early. The next day we went to watch tennis again. This time Stanislaw Wawrinka was playing against David Ferrer and the Spaniard lost. I was sad about it. After that Djokovic lost against Federer. Djokovic claimed that he was injured. You could tell he was very annoyed by the fact that he was losing. It was interesting to watch his frustration on the court.

Saturday was a much warmer day than Friday was. The sun was out. After the game, we walked back to the hotel. it was a nice walk, took about half an hour. We spent the afternoon at the American Bar of the Hotel de Paris, where a band was playing. Hotel de Paris has a really beautiful lobby, although the rooms are kind of old and ran down.

Later on we had dinner at Nobu. Federer happened to sit at the table next to us. It was funny to watch him in real life. After dinner we ended up at Jimmy'z where Bob Sinclair was playing.

The party was pretty nice. the crowd was full of good looking French and Italian boys.
