... the local bar and settled in for a few drinks and complimentary tapas.<br><br>Wed 11 Nov<br>Riva Ligura even better in the sunlight had a pretty little piazza and church which had a beautiful painted interior - much unexpected by us. The novalty factor was it had automatic sliding doors!

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!!!

Gorgeous morning and a stunning place for breakfast awaited us just outside Scooby overlooking the lake. I went for a run but Kim was feeling a little under the weather so she stayed and made me breakfast - yay! We spotted two girls about our age and attempted to engage in some conversation but their English was limited and French is rubbish. Shame as its manily been the grey hair brigade we ...

... the Grimaldi family. And where Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly joined in marriage in St. Nicholas Cathedral. In the square of Monaco-Ville, the Royal Palace could be found. From here, you could see all the districts of Monaco including Fontevielle, La Condamine and Monte-Carlo. Not to mention the breathtaking view of Port Hercules, more commonly known as the Port of Monte-Carlo! Here you could see the ...

... and Stee met through a social group several years before I knew them. Kelly had just moved to Salt Lake City and Stee helped him get a better job and a more affordable apartment. Later, as their friendship grew, Kelly moved into one of the spare rooms in Stee&#8217;s house. About a year later, Kelly&#8217;s grandmother called him up and asked if they would help her sister move into a house she had bought a few blocks away, since they still had a lot ...

... out our reservations to go to Munich the next day. This reservation business is by far the most annoying thing about our trip. We have our Eurail pass, but that's not enough. We have to pay extra money for seats on the busy trains. But you already know this, I'm just repeating myself. We got to the train station at 8 a.m., because that's when some random guy told us the ticket office opened. However, he was wrong and the office didn't open until 9:30. We killed some time and ate ...

... was very subdued it almost felt like a museum where everyone has to wear suits. And we were in the plebe section! Still good though, all very snobby with 4 staff per roulette table, enormous crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceilings, we all felt a little bit special for a while! On the way back to our bus it was raining, the ground was very slippery but that didn't stop us from pausing to admire all the hotshot cars parked out the front.

... bay, Torze didn.t actually flinch because of the boy who cried wolf, needless to say holly scraped her body )at least the burn disappeared) and broje her coconut bracelet...sad times :(! 16-08-2008 Today we poshed it up and went to Monaco, good times...missed the changing of the guard becuse of torze's dodgy orienteering, but saw the crowds so halfway there really. Then we went down to the port for lunch and wine...then looked at the boats...dear christ ...
