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>

... and not campervan parking friendly. We found a picture perfect stop just after Monte Carlo at the top of a hill overlooking the Med. We had the place to ourselves so we russelled up some brekkie in the sun which was lovely, so much so we were in t-shirts!!!

... wine bottle and then we thought they were off on the trail, but no they got in the car and drove on! <br> At the end of the gorge we joined the road towards Cannes, which was route Napoleon, orginially created by him as a pass through the mountains...very windy. Our destination for the evening was Grasse where we found a good park overlooking the city lights and our first view of the Med.

We were so excited to have another person travelling with us, that our time spent with Diane was mostly fighting over her for her attention and trying to get her to side with one of us. She was definitely a good friend to both of us ( and didnt favor me, which I thought she should have ...

... so we entered and relinquished our 10 Euro entry fee to enter the infamous Monte-Carlo casino only to relinquish several more euros once inside.

I kept looking for Daniel Craig. <br><br>Our dinner reservations at Sabatini's was 8:30pm. The ...

We are getting our bearings better up here in the hills above Monaco and made our way to the Gare (car garage for the train). It is inside the cliffs/mountain overlooking Monaco and is quite ...

... guide. The military uniforms, medals, and other artifacts were very cool to see. Then, we walked into Monacoville to find a sandwich to eat in the gardens.

Next, it was time to walk down into the main part of Monaco to see the Prince's private collection of cars. Omigod!!!! He has ...

... 15$ not even Starbucks is that bad! I didn't eat or drink there I just took a picture and left. Then we spent the rest of the day looking at the SUPER expensive shops, all the designers are there and I am just shocked at the price of things like a t shirt for 500 Euro!!! What.. does it wipe my but for me? Cause if not its not worth it. It was a nice day and it will be nice when we go back in a few weeks.
