The country is small and definitely walkable, but there is a hop on/hop off bus option, as well as local buses if your feet are complaining a bit too much. However, Monaco is a great place for simply strolling along the waterfront or getting lost in tiny allies with little shops while eating gelato (the gelato is an important part!).
Hallo!
I am in Iceland! I can’t believe it. This country has been on my bucket list since I read my first National Geographic magazine featuring this beautiful land. I’m going to be here for nine days, and there’s way too much to fit into one blog post! I’m going to focus on my first day here.
I’m SUPER lucky that my friend Rachel was able to join me for this adventure. We’ve rented a car, booked airbnb’s and hostels, researched the country, and are prepared for nine days of beauty!
I’ve spent the past few days bouncing back and forth from museum to gallery to museum/gallery duo. London has some pretty incredible museums and galleries, and I’ve been lucky enough to explore quite a few of them for school (meaning I get in free!) during my first week of classes. First up was the Cartoon Museum, which is more of a gallery, and is not your typical museum. It’s on a row with little cafes, and looks almost like a town house, except for the sign hanging out front proclaiming that you have arrived at the Cartoon Museum. I would describe it as a hole-in-the-wall museum, definitely oriented to a niche market of cartoon lovers. I am not particularly a cartoon lover, but it was still interesting. The inside was set up much like a high-school art show, with everything from political cartoons to Batman to comics framed and displayed on the walls. The entire feel was laid back, and the entry was only £3, a steal.
