Hotel - Restaurant La Flore Villefranche-sur-Mer

... 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 ...

... the most beautiful boats in the world are in MonteCarlo...

Language is more interesting in france. If we try to do the simple tourist things then most people can work out what is going on but when we try something else eg. going to the doctor (sue has been sick) going to a chemist.. or finding a Laundamatt.. then the language thiig is a bit more animated....

have some grat pics of Nice and French Rivierra to show when we get home...

... tomorrow. The hotel is the flashest i have ever stayed at. There was a gala ball on tonight and some famous people (tv cameras here and all!). I didn't recognise anyone tho. Had a drink at the bar to soak up the atmosphere. My view is fantastic.

Not going to update the travel blog for a few days while I enjoy the relax time in Monte Carlo. Will summarise it all with photos once I’m on my way to Italy. Here’s hoping the weather shines for me.

POLSKI:
Ile razy bylismy w uroczym miasteczku Villefranche na francuskim Lazurowym Wybrzezu, tyle razy chcialam pojechac do Monaco. Moj grafik jednak mi na to nie pozwalal. Tym razem spielam sie w czasie i zaraz po porannej pracy pobieglam na dworzec kolejowy. Pociag do Monte Carlo, w obie strony, kosztowal mnie cale 5 Euro, a jazda trwala 15-20 minut. Widoki sliczne, ale najlepsza byla jednak Starowka Monte Carlo oraz samochody ...

... the ocean, can not be described.

Left beach and went to Marina. Saw posters that i loved so bot a couple. Local artist who paints the marina. Went in to pay for them and she asked me if she could pls sign them for me-WOW-she was the artist!!!!!! We met her dcaughter who she wants to come to Amer on an exchqnge, qnd her friend. They were lovely and gave us their email addresses. We were ...

... gorgeous both inside and out. With pictures of celebrities and royalty garnishing the ornate walls, we beelined for the "Leading Hotels of the World" bed in our room. Ahhhhh. Finally, back in the civilized world. :) After a quick nap, we went down for a $25 gin and tonic (seriously). It was the best I've ever had. It had to be, right? Our "package" included a 4-course French dinner that was divine. Bonnie ate scallops for the first time (I'm so proud ...

My brain hurts. I would say that in French, but I don't know how to yet. The first day of school was mainly administrative stuff, so there wasn't a lot to report. I talked to a few people, but like the true introvert that I am, didn't want to invest too much time until I found out who was in my class. Why "waste" time getting to know someone you'll not see again for the next month and who is light years ahead of you in French? It'd just be frustrating. So, this ...

I loved flying out to Europe at night instead of the morning. We slept on the plane, and when we woke up, it was afternoon there. So breakfast became lunch, and lunch became dinner, and we were ready for bed by the time we got settled in around 10pm or so. The flight over was fine as far as scheduling, but was really bumpy. I actually got scared. I remembered the flight from Ak to AZ in the winter though, and that one was so bad that I thought we were going to die, so I ...

Last week was a kick ass week! I finally got to treat a lot of people. It gets very boring and frustrating when no one comes in you know you can help. But thankfully things have been picking up since last week. I got to treat a number of odd, weird, and tough cases last week. Thankfully my school experience helped prep me for it, so it wasn't that bad at all. Plus I got to meet up with another acupuncturist from another ship. It helps to be able to finally to talk ...
