Plus: Camel racing in the dangerous desert
| | Live with no limits in Monaco |
|
Close your eyes and imagine you're sailing. It's a perfect Mediterranean day, with smooth water, clear skies and glaciers visible in the Alps nearby. You're on a 220-foot superyacht and the captain is pointing out celebrity homes and telling tales of suitcases full of cash. This week, join Jonathan Green for a mind journey to Monaco — a place with so much money, nobody even counts their money anymore. RN's travel podcast Return Ticket is back for another season. Soon you'll explore Dublin by book, find reality in Fiji and wrestle with the sleeplessness of Seattle. But first, take on Monaco. Then, meet a peace baby — someone who grew up in the 25 years since the Good Friday Agreement brought an end to violence in Northern Ireland. Emma Rooney, born just four months after the agreement was signed, tells Sunday Extra what life feels like in a post-Troubles era. Plus, read all about the camel race that promised adventure — then took a serious turn for the worse — in this article from the History Listen. Until next time, Rosie Ryan, digital editor Enjoy getting ABC RN in your inbox? Invite your friends to sign up too! |
