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!!!

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 ...

Later, we enjoyed some leisure time walking around the Palace Square, through the lanes and streets of Monaco-Ville. At 3pm sharp, we watched the Changing of the Guard in front of the Royal Palace. <br><br>Back at the ...

... off at the casino after we had seen a bit. You had to have your passport and gentlemen had to wear suit and tie and obviously ladies dressed accordingly. We got to the Casino but it didn't open until 2pm so as it happened there was a smaller one next door and they didn't have a strict dress code, so we went in there for a short while to enjoy the airconditioning. Graeme won 40euros. Bob and Pam bought a beer and a gin and tonic and it cost ...

Today started early with the same old who... who... who... of some bird outside looking for friendship- It ...

... back to sleep where we remained until close to 11:00 when we were dragged from the comforts of our beds to got to the beach with some Contikiers... The beach was stunning...large pebbles and very warm. WE spent the majority of the morning sunning and then swimming in the early afternoon. At one point Erica took charge and used her French to get us to a supermarket for some late lunch When the day finally wound down and 5 o'clock hit we all had ...

... are practically almost on top of each other. So we gave up and eventually found the street that the Monaco Grand Prix drives on. It looked like it was getting set up, so maybe it is soon? We didn't know these things were coinciding with our travels at this time, or maybe we might have tried to co-ordinate it to go. The same with Nice... apparently the Cannes film festival had been going on for the week right before we came. I think ...
