1 avenue Alexandre III Juan-les-Pins, French Riviera - Cote d'Azur, Provence, France, 06600
ok, it was more "collecting a new country" than being really interested in Monaco. Strange, when you go there from Nice airport by bus it costs you 18 € one way, when you go from Nice bus terminal it costs 1 € one way. Monaco is a very clean city. I have never seen so many big and expensive cars. I saw the casino and the castle. Nice, but not spectacular.
Monaco, Monaco tilmanI know I always write the same...great weather, such a nice city, good food....but I have to say that Nice was a (very) big surprise for me, I can say that it is my favourite city in Europe (ok, number 2 after Lisbon). You have the mountains, the Cote dŽAzur (when you see the water you know why the name is Cote dŽAzur), the market with fresh vegetables, fruits, honey, oil, soap, you have great restaurants ...
Nice, Provence, France tilman... Not only have the donations received already far exceeded my expectations, but the kind words and general interest and support that I have received have been amazing. So thank you all. It is all very much appreciated and I can't believe that between us we really will change these little lives. It is my motto here in Antibes, but this is the ultimate "think globally; act locally ...
Antibes, Provence, France marianner... peculator brewing, and more often than not scrambled eggs. Lunch is usually a baguette stuffed with loads of fresh salad, stinky cheese (the smellier the better!!) and Parma ham. Our dinner staples are Spaghetti Bolognaise, Pork Fajitas, Hamburgers with the LOT, Cous Cous ala Gill with chicken and of course no meal starts without the obligatory Ham cheese and olive tapas and a bottle of wine. The other stuff We need to make up our bed every evening as it is made out of ...
Les Arcs sur Argens, Provence, France darrenhough74... at the Monte Carlo Casino. Mark was super keen on feeling like James Bond. He so wishes he was James Bond. It is kind of odd because once you are in the casino it is really quiet and not busy at all. Mark won about 300 euro so we were happy.
We checked out the start and finish line of the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix, along with the famous hairpin turn. Even the locals fang it around that corner.
We headed ...
... that we were still in french territory, we feasted on delish pastries galore. Dee sampled her first proper French choc eclair...OH MY GOD was her reaction! Lewey even had dessert envy, and we both laughed at the fact that our tea cost more than the dessert (so very cheap in France for the desserts, bad bad bad as we are rapidly tripling our size, wondering how we will fit on the plane home)!
Feeling a little too much like a backpacker, and needing a tidy up before donning a bathing ...
... car for the drive and yacht as my eyes feasted on the sights across Monte Carlo. One day, one day…
A short while later Jen and I found ourselves alongside the harbour and arguably the most impressive sight of all was in front of us; the staggering number and vastness of the yachts. It really is something to marvel, all those ultimate ...
We drove from Beausoliel along the Cote D'Azur (Azur- the water color from Monaco to Cannes) on Moyenne Cornice (there is the Basse (at the sea), Moyenne (half way up the ...
Beausoliel, Monaco jv3117Bonjour! I tell you this is crazy..... we get a grasp on French and then we went to spain....confusion with languages! saying bonjour when we should say Ola.... then headed back into France and saying Ola/ gracias when we should be speaking France! We are moving so quickly! Well, Nice.... the city of Drama for us anyhow! We had badluck with the tour hotel bookings and found that the hotel booked was supposedly double booked and we were put into a place ...
Nice, France jessica.earley... Nice. Nice je vzdialene len asi 30km od Monaca a dostanete sa tam po skvelej ceste vysekanej do utesu niekedy uplne nad morom. V Nice sme si pozreli Anglicku promedanu a presli kus centra mesta. Ale kedze sme boli na dovolenke a nie na dostihoch vecer o pol piatej sme sa uz vracali naspat do kempu, aby sme si oddychli aj vo vodorovnej polohe.
