Hotel Les Terrasses D''Eze

ok, it was more "collecting a new country" than being really interested in Monaco. Strange, when you go there from Nice airport by bus it costs you 18 € one way, when you go from Nice bus terminal it costs 1 € one way. Monaco is a very clean city. I have never seen so many big and expensive cars. I saw the casino and the castle. Nice, but not spectacular.

I know I always write the same...great weather, such a nice city, good food....but I have to say that Nice was a (very) big surprise for me, I can say that it is my favourite city in Europe (ok, number 2 after Lisbon). You have the mountains, the Cote dŽAzur (when you see the water you know why the name is Cote dŽAzur), the market with fresh vegetables, fruits, honey, oil, soap, you have great restaurants ...

It is Sunday and very wet and miserable here in Antibes. Quite a change from the glorious day we had yesterday. Ideal for computer work in fact... (Except that then things didn't pan out as planned and it is now Monday)

It wasn't my intention to have an entry before my departure but the response to my initial circular has been so overwhelming that I feel it merited an ...

... so we are hoping that our 9kg will suffice but I am not confident. We have been on the continent 5 weeks now and we are still on the first bottle but it is near impossible to guess how much is left. My best guess is that there is a 1/4 left (give or take a 1/4) Electric Boogaloo ... Keeping the lights on We have 2 batteries, one for the car to start and one for leisure. When the Car battery is full then the leisure battery is recharged. We can also hook up to Mains ...

On this morning we left Switzerland and travelled south into Italy en-route to the French Riviera. The scenery was pretty spectacular, with snow-white capped, jagged mountains that seemed to swallow the highway. Surreal!

When we arrived at our hotel we had about 30 mins to get ready for our trip into Monaco! On our drive to Monaco we crossed the bridge that Grace Kelly was killed on in a car accident. The roads are ...

... we eventually found a cute place that by some miracle was open. Emboldened by some food, we found our way back to the station and decided to proceed on to the next stop, Cannes. It was a little disappointing, as it seems that it is quite a small town area and we can't quite work out why they would hold a huge film festival there, but anywho. Dee kept on the lookout for Brad Pitt or George C, but no luck unfortunately as the festival was much earlier in the year. We saw some locals ...

Eze shared the same charm as Vence and Saint Paul. Its also a walled city on the top of a hill except that Eze looks out on the water and the view is beautiful. The weather has been perfect each day and enjoying the sunshine and looking ...

... separate ways, but as neither of us were tired, and Tallulah was awake, we all started talking. The conversation took a rather random turn to the topic of bathrooms, I decided it was just too weird, and stayed out of it. We continued talking about random things until around 5am. Though I think Tallulah may have fallen asleep before then. Anyways when we realised the time, we both called it a night and tried to get a little sleep before our early 6.30 start the next morning.

... for my birthday on Monday, and they said they would show me the town. NICE! We swapped numbers and I jumped off at the next station...Eze. I got to the small platform, Jim and Amber were there too. We were on the same train and didn't know it. When I saw them and told them about the long hike, we decided to look for a bus stop close to the Eze train station...it only ran in peak season starting in 4 days. We were out of luck. We looked at the ...

... interesting to see what goes into making perfume; at least, as a girl, it was. I'm not sure if the guys enjoyed it as much. We did get to create our own fragrances, though. I came up with three separate perfumes and I still have them at home. Eze was charming.
