Friday night in Monaco

On Friday we continued our search for Monaco's colour until dusk. At night, we received a text message from the guy who we thought would be able to host us in Monaco. It said that he wouldn't be at home that night but that we could meet at 12pm at the Place du Palais. We went there and sat on a bench facing the square and the palace. The square was completely empty; there's no nightlife in Monaco Ville, at night everyone goes to Monte Carlo (one of Monaco's quartiers). We waited for him until half past 12 when we received another text message from him saying "is that you in front of me?". We looked in front of us and at a distance we saw a guard standing by the entrance of the palace. We walked towards the palace and met Rodolfo the palace guard who couldn't host us because he was on night shift. He helped us find another place and in the end we spent the night on the 16th floor of Le Schuylkill building, situated on the Boulevard de Suisse of Montecarlo. From up there we could almost see the whole country and we were able to perceive the colours of Monaco from above.
