Hotel Riviera Villefranche-sur-Mer

Monaco was unbelievable. I was awestruck most of the time by the fact that I was actually in Monte Carlo! Immaculate streets and gardens/parks, very clean. Designer labels and fashionable people everywhere. So small in area that every available inch of land is consumed, but still so much traffic. Amazing hills and views. The selection of photos show it best than I could describe - i took heaps of pics, so these are just a selection, but still a lot ...

... 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.

... 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 ...

... of constantly getting lost.

We stay for three hours and I eat local sword fish, Parker pizza and Alex moules.

Waitress so adorable and takes loads of photos of us.

We explore the town after lunch and then board the 81 bus back to Nice.



Went to Chz Freddy next door to resturant last nite. Parker's checken was eighteen euros-they ripped us off. First ...

... sink eets viral." "Cool. Can I leave?" "No." "I'm contagious?" "Yes. I sink so. Stay for sreee days inside." Great. Solitary for another three days. I battled through it and felt much better on day 3, which was perfect as I was about ready to take the next flight to the good ole Etas Unis for some home cookin' and some Harry! :) Doin' week 4 the right way After being sick and overall disappointed with our "vacation" experience thus far, I realized our problem ...

... and scarves on when I'm wearing sandals without a coat, looking very much like a tropical bird who somehow escaped her cage. People are actually looking at me in amazement as I walk down the street. Not the kind of attention I was looking for! lol I know, I know, poor baby on the riviera; I get it. But I'm hormonal and drained, so cut me some slack. I'm sure I'll be happy as a lark again next week. One thing that's awesome, Aaron hasn't proven to be perfect, so ...

... with strawberry jelly. No wonder I could feel my wine after a half glass! lol Aaron's been freezing a lot the last few days, so I wrapped the comforter over him like he is a burrito. A creme and blue toile burrito that spouts and snores. hee hee. I took some pictures of him. We plan on going into Nice tomorrow because it's the last day of carnivale, but who knows if it's raining. That's about it for now. I'm just so nervous about my "first day of school"! Wish us luck Monday!

Been back from Provence for little less then a week now, and miss the sunshine and life style. Our "base camp" was in the town of Villefranche next door to Nice, we had rented a flat that we had found on Craig's List, and along with an Alfa Romeo rental, we explored Provence. Collected up the approximate 400 photos that we took into the following videos, I know that sounds intimidating (400 photos), but the movies breeze through them fairly quickly. Enjoy....
