Hostotel Beau Site Antibes

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 ...

... 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.

... Sailboats were docked at the marina (knez, it made me think of you). Diane ordered mussles and Jon and I had our first mussels ever. They were delicious. Thank you Diane for helping me discover my love for sea food. St-Tropez was further than we thought, but thank god we ...

... experience at Sababini's was very personable! The eight course meal was superb! We both chose the steak and lobster, otherwise referred to as surf and turf! The service was fantastic! Sabatini's provided a more intimate and personable experience! We were glad we arrived with an apetite. Otherwise, the eight courses would've been too much. The champagne carried us through dinner until the cappuccino's. <br ...

... aboard all of us went to the Blue Lady Pub, a British pub that is popular with the yachties. Later that evening we went to Juan-les-Pins to a dance club. <br><br>We are planning to leave Antibes early on Saturday morning for Nice, weather permitting.

... before the dinner and act as greeters during the event. Luckily, I was placed inside the tent for set up instead of doing manual labor outside. The tent would hold the dinner and auction. I spent all day working on the tables, which were all different sizes, tablecloths, which were all different sizes, and plates which had to be put on the correct tables (because there were different color plates that matches the lights and flowers, of course) and then ...

... and chocolate for Valentine's Day. I thought about my dad and Evan the whole time because we used to go go-karting all the time, but never on ice. We were all pretty tired at this point so we went back to the hotel where Ross and I shared a French twin. This might seem okay to you all with your spacious twins back in America, but let me tell you, these twin beds here in France are barely enough room for one person. We pushed it up to the wall so we wouldn't ...

... last week, and we have not driven it yet, too much to do within walking distance here. Patrick left us with a brilliant Medoc to start our stay, and we soon found our way around the old town, within whose walls we are. In fact we are only 200m from the Marina and about the same from the nearest public beach. The house is an old village home, approx 3m wide and 6 levels. Some innovative use of space and while it has taken us a while to adjust we have ...

... has afforded us the opportunity to see loads of places and learn new things. (as well as make some decent money, which will be fueling our next 6 months of travel).  This is a beautiful part of the world and we wouldn't want to change any of the things we have seen and done. During this period we got to visit quite a few countries including Spain, Italy and Greece.
