Auberge des Cayrons Vence

After brekkie it was onto Menton which is a lovely little town just before the Italian border. Menton is a much more down to earth place than its neighbours and more our scene. We found a park right on the beach and went for a wander and took in sum much needed sun. Next stop Italia!!<br>

Up early as it was a spectacular sunrise - full of pinks and organges. We wanted to hit McWifi before we entered Italy but we did not find one until later in the day in Menton. Before that we drove the coast road through Nice and Monte Carlo, both concrete ...

Gorgeous morning and a stunning place for breakfast awaited us just outside Scooby overlooking the lake. I went for a run but Kim was feeling a little under the weather so she stayed and made me breakfast - yay! We spotted two girls about our age and attempted to engage in some conversation but their English was limited and French is rubbish. Shame as its manily been the grey hair brigade we ...

... the wonderful "fun" and "vitamin" radio stations to keep us entertained with "Evacuate the Dancefloor" and 3 other dance songs that they kept repeating.<br><br>http://picasaweb.goog le.com/Jonny.D.Lawrence/20090928Cannes? authkey=Gv1sRgCPHzqZ_hy_fA8AE&amp;feat= directlink

... first day in Nice was spent on the beach, we couldn't wait to go into the ocean, that we went swimming without towels. Wasn't a good idea since Nice is all rock beaches and we couldn't really sit to dry off... WE had a delicous pasta dinner at Pasta Basta and ordered the finest wine on ...

... of millionaires and billionaires. <br><br>The tour of the Royal Palace, where Prince Albert currently resides, offered an interesting and historical view of the life of the Grimaldi family. Later, we enjoyed some leisure time walking around the Palace Square, through the lanes and streets of Monaco-Ville. At 3pm sharp, we watched the Changing of the Guard in front of the Royal Palace. <br><br>Back at the ...

Today we decided to take a day off from riding. Originally we had planned to take a trip into Nice and Monaco, but we were just plain worn out from 5 days of riding. Good thing too as there was an Ironman going on in Nice and the surrounding area, including the town of Vence that we were in, and we wouldn't have gotten very far.<br><br> We spent the day relaxing by the pool and doing some laundry. Our camp looked like ...

... o kadar bekleyecegime yururum dedim (yanlis hesap, yokus yukari rampa, gunes tepede !!) ve yurumeye basladim. Daha birkac yuz metre gitmistim ki ileriden aci fren sesleri icinde bir araba salvolar atarak uzerime dogru yaklasti. Beni siyirarak gecen araba virajlari sanki ralli yapiyormus gibi aldi, son virajdan donup gorunmez olunca sesleri dinlemeye devam ettim. GUUUMM! Tabi bir yerlere bindirdi. Kosarak bakmaya gittigimde, adam tamponu falan yolda birakmis ...

... sea that it overlooks! As l went into the house l was overcome with the indoor and outdoor speaker system, dual dishwasheres and ovens and stove tops, the huge tennis court on which l played with the girls and 4 German shepherd dogs played ball boys, the lovely spare house which me and girls Spring cleaned with it blue painted door and shutters and hanging dried lavender against its paint scrapped walls. Are you jealous yet?? Well don't be too jealous as l spent three of ...

History: Monaco's history is pretty much the history of the Grimaldi family. The country is their private playground, and they are its raison d'etre - a 1918 treaty with France states that, should the Grimaldis die out Monaco will become an autonomous state of France. The area which is now Monaco has been inhabited since the Stone Age. Legend has it that during the Roman era a young Corsican Christian named Dévote was executed and her body placed in a ...
