Auberge des Seigneurs et du Lion d'Or Vence

... br>Hotel was fantastic. 5 star luxury with sauna and steam room, which I enjoyed. Roof top pool overlooked the Mediterranean coast line. Ferrari's frequently pulling up out front with people arriving to gamble at the casino (the hotel has its own and is right next door to the main Monte Carlo casino). €500 notes being handed over at casino tables.

I went to the main casino on one night with high expectations. It was v quiet. Probably ...

... the most beautiful boats in the world are in MonteCarlo...

Language is more interesting in france. If we try to do the simple tourist things then most people can work out what is going on but when we try something else eg. going to the doctor (sue has been sick) going to a chemist.. or finding a Laundamatt.. then the language thiig is a bit more animated....

Well, I am writing this entry from Switzerland. Sitting at the Geneva airport. My flight from Barcelona to Geneva (to connect onto a flight to Nice) was delayed and then delayed again which meant I missed my connecting flight. Was originally angry about this cause I have lost a day of travel time, but it has given me the opportunity to sort some photos and begin my Monte Carlo relax period. Was fortunate that there was a later flight with seats available and that ...

... was really pretty. Loads of lovely restaurants that we just drooled out... and went back to the van to eat pasta and tuna.. again :)

The last beach day - so we thought was nice. The beach is long and sandy but it got rough and windy and a bit cooler later in the day so we called it quits.. sadly.... oh dear....

Every time we were in the picturesque town of Villefranche in the French Azur Coast, I always wanted to travel to Monaco. My schedule though wouldn`t let me do it. That day I managed with the time and straight ...

... Chinese laundry with clothes hanging all over the place to dry. Doing nothing gave us a chance to reflect on our trip so far and think about all the crazy experiences, things we liked and things we didn’t.

The smokers…everyone smokes, I think even the babies when they come out of the womb, but that’s not confirmed. You can’t sit in a restaurant without smoke wafting in your face and ...

... donerek hemen yakinimdaki park yerine dogru arabanin onunden sivilar, sular akita akita geliyordu. Arabayi park ettikten sonra kufurler ederek tamponu ve diger parcalari almak uzere tekrar yola cikti. Otoparkci ile birbirimize "Deli herhalde!" isareti yaptik. Iste bu sirada hayatimin hatasini yaptim. Once adam yolda giderken arkadan fotografini cektim, sonra da arabanin yanina gidip hasarli yerin. Tam yola devam ediyordum ki, elimde fotograf makinesi sallaniyor ...

... days there in bed as l had come down with a nasty flu and its not that much fun working with four girls on holidays when you have the flu! Although the palm tree patio and Lillie's on which my bedroom looked out upon, the huge shower and bathroom with lovely tiling which l shared with the girls was enough to get me through! Ohhh but l was so jealous when l saw the bathroom of my employees! Their bath had been elevated so that it had a majestic view over St Paul de Vence! How ...
