Monaco is not Monaco

At the beginning of the year I heard that we were going to Monaco on a study trip. I had visions of the whole class making like Grace Kelly down by the quayside.
I discovered some months later that in fact, when Italians refer to Monaco they mean Monaco di Baveria - otherwise known as Munich. So on May 1st, a public holiday here in Italy as in most other parts of the world, we set off with the students from the Masters in Insurance and Risk Management to Munich.
By Bus
All 50 something of us
With no DVD player
And no CD player
About 7 hours
It was a very long trip and one of the very few things that I am not going to miss about being a student - it will be wonderful to be back in the world where people fly to get places. There is actually a direct flight from Trieste to Munich (aka Monaco) so it will be on our suggestions for the next years trip.
Of course we still managed to turn the trip into an excuse to have a good time - and took a heap of pictures at the Austrian Autogrill...
