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>

Up early as it was a spectacular sunrise - full of pinks and organges. We wanted to hit McWifi before we entered Italy but we did not find one until later in the day in Menton. Before that we drove the coast road through Nice and Monte Carlo, both concrete ...

Gorgeous morning and a stunning place for breakfast awaited us just outside Scooby overlooking the lake. I went for a run but Kim was feeling a little under the weather so she stayed and made me breakfast - yay! We spotted two girls about our age and attempted to engage in some conversation but their English was limited and French is rubbish. Shame as its manily been the grey hair brigade we ...

... the wonderful "fun" and "vitamin" radio stations to keep us entertained with "Evacuate the Dancefloor" and 3 other dance songs that they kept repeating.<br><br>http://picasaweb.goog le.com/Jonny.D.Lawrence/20090928Cannes? authkey=Gv1sRgCPHzqZ_hy_fA8AE&amp;feat= directlink

... first day in Nice was spent on the beach, we couldn't wait to go into the ocean, that we went swimming without towels. Wasn't a good idea since Nice is all rock beaches and we couldn't really sit to dry off... WE had a delicous pasta dinner at Pasta Basta and ordered the finest wine on ...

For those who may not be aware, the name Elsie translates to Lesia in Ukrainian.<br><br>So, the Ruby Princess takes Princess Lesia to ...

... think we&#8217;re pylons. I&#8217;ve been passed on the left and right, sometimes simultaneously, within inches. At some points we couldn&#8217;t take the constant traffic lights and lines of cars waiting to get through them and started lane splitting ourselves. At first it was a bit harrowing with the bags on, but we got used to it and made better time.<br><br>The drivers&#8230;in Portugal and Spain they move ...

Left Avignon today headed along the Rivierra. Called past the impressive Pont du Gard - a Roman viaduct - a marvellous piece of engineering. Decided to have a quick look at Marsailles on the way, so stopped and had some lunch on the coast ...

... made the flight to Alicante so after many hours of tracking Petit Bleu down it was flown to Alicante where he missed us by one day, then to Madrid...where he missed us again by about a day, then at Marsielle airport we were informed that he was in London Gatwick airport!!! Janette and l both shouted "whats he doing in Gatwick??" where it appeared that he had to fly there in order to reach us in Marsielle. Once again he missed us in Marsille...where we have never seen or ...

... anyway. Besides, with 300 sunny days a year, voting would be a criminal waste of tanning time. Because residents of Monaco pay no income tax, the principality became something of a tax haven for the private jet set. Famous faces from the sporting or cinema worlds flitted in and out of expensive boutiques or zoomed through the streets in expensive cars, knowing their money was safe in Monaco. The principality was admitted to the UN as a full member ...
