Hotel Le Parc Vence

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.

... 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 ...

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. Before leaving, we took a few minutes to appreciate the artwork and interior of the casino. For us, it felt like we were in a scene of Casino Royale with James Bond! I kept looking for Daniel Craig. <br><br>Our dinner reservations at Sabatini's was 8:30pm. The ...

The next morning I awoke and strode confidently to the toilets for my morning drop off only to find that there was no toilet paper. As we hadn't come across this before, we weren&#8217;t packing any either. Now came the mad scramble to find a substitute, which I did with not a moment to spare. We packed up and got out of there in record time, not bothering to stop at the camp restaurant for a morning café before getting on the road, which had ...

... a plate for my chips. "Je vois que tu fais un pique-nique!" I grinned back. Hey, I'm just getting started. He then spied the juice and left to get a glass. Before I knew it we were chatting and snacking on the cashews that I had bought earlier at the Saint Tropez market. He was definitely the snooty type, but was a bit amused at my lack of pretense. If I'm hungry I'm gonna ...

... artist colony in an old Medeival walled city. It was almost untouchably expensive, but lots of fun and the views were great. Lunch was hood too. A little bit of trout, some pesto pasta and Salade Nicoise.

... wonderfully they planned this city, escalators outside on the street to help us a little, 'escaliers' which were actually secret subway for pedestrians and no metro in sight, but a way to easily get around the hilly landscape of Monaco. This was such a wonderful trip and only all in one day.
