Hotel Campanile Nice Airport

... 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 ...

Have had fun in France. Nice is interesting and the beautiful water of the mediterranian was great to woke up to... Mick went for a swim !! we caught a train to Cannes and we looked around all the exclusive spots but noone we knew... just rich people and us tourists..
we also went to Montecarlo.. fantastic.. even swa a kart race in Monaco... had a look at the MonteCarlo Casino.. impressive if only for the flashy cars and people with too much cash ...

... 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 ...

... hotel around..11pm. Gee, that was fun. We unloaded the car at the hotel, parked in the exhorbitantly price public car park and flopped in our expensive but lovely room with bed looking out over the ocean and double double glazed windows for no noise.
Relaxing on the balcony and looking out over the night life things were still hopping on a Saturday night at that time. We unwound and went to bed with the intention of not doing much tomorrow... I am sure we can accomplish that!

... Cuda! I jeszcze zatrzymywaly sie, zeby Cie przepuscic - zanim nawet zdazylas dojsc do pasow. Mialam bardzo malo czasu, ale to, co zobaczylam, przekonalo mnie, ze to nie moj ostatni raz w Ksiestwie Monako.

ENGLISH:
Every time we were in the picturesque town of Villefranche in the French Azur Coast, I always wanted to travel to Monaco. My schedule though wouldn`t let me do it. That day I managed with the time and straight ...

... my ice-cream before it melted. They were nice, and I sat with them and had a chat. Soon a policeman told us to move along, and the dutch lady reckons he only did it so he'd feel important lol. There do seem to be a lot of policemen around.

I walked on to tackle the last couple of things. Anoother monument at the Palazzo Chigi was cool, and then I went on to the Trevoli Fountain (Fontana di Trevi). It aws cool, and I threw in a coin which either means I'll return ...

... spent the afternoon playing cards and drinking beer, then off to the camper for the night and a good 8 hours sleep. When we woke at 9am the next morn we were only an hour away from docking, so the boys changed the tire(another story) and then we were off up to Venice. Paulo kept us all entertained once again at Fusina and while maree and paul took off early to do Venice the next morn, we said our goodbyes to Gordon and Bronnie (who were flying out ...

... Elevators took us to the top of the structure, where we exited & walked past the maritime museum, in front of which was a tiny yellow submarine used by the great Jacques Cousteau. Wandering alongside the main road from here, we passed Princess Caroline's residence, part of the 'Old Town' which covers the large rock outcrop called Le Rocher (the Rock). Proceeding further up the slightly sloping roadway towards level ground, we found ...

... back home over this one. Luckily we had some young, friendly, safe people in our compartment; otherwise I fear we may have left the train a little lighter in luggage. Amidst the noise, which the damn train company must surely have bought in bulk installed for that 'travelling' effect, we managed to hear between us that no fewer than three people had tried to get into our cabin during the evening. And one of them was a guy that had just tried ...
