Helios Juan-les-Pins

... 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 ...

... committed by kids. except using much smaller words. maybe at least they'll think i'm older than i look now?

btws when asked my age i replied, a true lady never reveals her age. my 2 faves in the class laughed at that one. at least someone got my jokes!


and tomorrow?
another day of very early rising to greet the bus, and go to a class that i may or may not actually have.(thanks eve)

looks like i've got my work cut out for me.....

... 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....

have some grat pics of Nice and French Rivierra to show when we get home...

... blue/green shutter doors. i feel all french like whenever we open and close them.

so tomorrow is my first day of school for real. eek. little nervous, its a class of terminal and then the professional school. definite potential for them to be older than me. oh *****, i already look like im 12 haha.

yet another part of this lovely adventure!

... Monday’ by the Bangles at the airport. Too true...

12hrs after i checked out of my Barcelona hotel, i am in Monte Carlo!!!!! Luckily got the last bus from the Nice airport to Monaco. Amazing bus trip here. I think i was wide-eyed and jaw dropped for much of it. Although it is night, you can see some amazing views, yachts and cross some bridges with HUGE drop-offs down into the coastal valley. The streets truly are Grand Prix style. Can't wait to ...

POLSKI:
Ile razy bylismy w uroczym miasteczku Villefranche na francuskim Lazurowym Wybrzezu, tyle razy chcialam pojechac do Monaco. Moj grafik jednak mi na to nie pozwalal. Tym razem spielam sie w czasie i zaraz po porannej pracy pobieglam na dworzec kolejowy. Pociag do Monte Carlo, w obie strony, kosztowal mnie cale 5 Euro, a jazda trwala 15-20 minut. Widoki sliczne, ale najlepsza byla jednak Starowka Monte Carlo oraz samochody ...

... was held, and the Spanish people decided that, instead of worrying about all this meeting/eating business, they should just shut everything down for a few hours each day - that way everyone who became too frazzled could just have a little lie down. The last thing that seems at all times to confuse the hell out of me is train bathrooms. I know I've been going on about bathrooms a whole lot, but going to the toilet does take up a lot of one's ...

So we thought we'd check out how the other half live in Monaco! We set out early from our roadside sleeping spot (great view but very noisy!) and headed into Monaco, a small (2 km square) Principality, nestled on the coast of France. We headed straight to the Marina in the hope that some rich person would feel sorry for us and let us ...

Monaco. Bien que ce soit une principauté et que les habitants soit tres riches aussi. L'ambiance est tout autre. La les gens me sourient en retour, et la ville est super belles. Sans parler du parc sur la péninsule avec le bout de vieux village au sommet. G vu plein ed plantes bizzards et des mouettes gigantesque. Je ne sais pas si c'est parce qu'elles ont du sang royale mais ouf ca hummm... surprend de se retourner et de voir a 1m une mouettte ...
