Hotel Le Provence

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 ...

France so far has been different...between the two of us, when we arrived all we knew was please, 1,2,3, and we think no is the same. so basically we speak no french...and no one hear seems to speak english. moving on...so we missed the bus, or rather the stupid guy just missed us. so at that point we're like, lets go back to the hostel and maybe take a siesta, then go to Monaco later. its like 4 ish now ...

... alleyways carrying dishes and plates with them. I watched some old men playing petanque (a sort of lawn bowls game...but played on small yellow stones- played everywhere in France) for awhile and then started walking through the beautiful towns tiny streets, through the boutiques and art galleries and even managed to find a few tiny residential houses where it was only me and some cute fluffy poodles admiring the pot plants. I looked over the beautiful view and out over ...

... lots of bridges, Eiffel Tower- get to climb it tomorrow - can't wait!!Did a quick city tour- saw Notradamus, Notre Dame, Eternal flame [Aussies actually tried to cook sausages on it - can you believe it??] .
