Inter Hotel Brise De Mer St-Raphaël

... Not only have the donations received already far exceeded my expectations, but the kind words and general interest and support that I have received have been amazing. So thank you all. It is all very much appreciated and I can't believe that between us we really will change these little lives. It is my motto here in Antibes, but this is the ultimate "think globally; act locally ...

... wine bottle and then we thought they were off on the trail, but no they got in the car and drove on!
At the end of the gorge we joined the road towards Cannes, which was route Napoleon, orginially created by him as a pass through the mountains...very windy. Our destination for the evening was Grasse where we found a good park overlooking the city lights and our first view of the Med.

i really am terrible at blogging....

this is very long and if anyone actually reads this...well then, im impressed. and thanks!

anyhoo so this week we didn't have school because it was toussaints( all saints day). a lame candy free holiday that they choose to celebrate over halloween. i will someday write a blog detailing a number of times and situations where france lacks logical, this abandonnement of halloween will definitely be ...

Cannes is not as glamrous as we thought it would be, it still has all the fancy smancy stores along the beach, but there were definitely no red carpets rolled out when we were there. We did a day trip to St-Tropez, its was the end of a hge sailing competitiona and tons of ...

By the way, wore by new vilet colored bikini-kids said i now fit in! They buried one another in sand for hours. Parker writes about the rather large 300 pound ladty who sat near us. i did
not think the kids noticed her, I guess she was the focus of their attention!!

Memory of day-the glorious food at the markersq, the people selling it all with such charisma and zeal-what a treat

Vandaag doen we de canyon samen met Renzo.

We hebben hem niet zo heel veel gezien deze week, maar vandaag trekken we er met ons drieën op uit om de Imberguet te gaan doen.

Bedoeling was om tijdens deze canyon ook wat reddingstechnieken te oefenen, maar uiteindelijk zijn we er niet aan toe gekomen.

... zijn van allemaal, hij biedt wel de mogelijkheid om een aantal technieken zoals het aanleggen van looplijntjes,... te oefenen.

Verder is er nog een ander groepje net voor ons de canyon in getrokken, we zullen hen nog een aantal maal tegenkomen in het verder verloop van de canyon.

Op een bepaald moment blijkt dat er ergens een foutje in de topo zit... We komen aan een rappel en weten niet of ...

... BTW, our tour book also noted the amount of theft in Nice and luckily Dave moves WAY out of the way of this guy making a bit of a scene (this time for a good reason - ha!) and the creepy guy walks away. We start by walking down the main drag and I think we should divert to a local museum to dodge the chaos. I point out the Molinard Perfume Museum and Dave decides we stick it out and head straight to Old Nice and the ...

... France to take in more of the country side as well as the Riviera. Sat 26th May Mark and I woke before the kids so decided to escape for a walk and a swim before our family outing to the produce markets. We both realised how much we missed Bondi with our walk along the azure coast. Our dip into the Mediterranean was a hoot. Anyone who has ever attempted swimming at a pebble beach will know what I am on about. Trying to get into the water was an adventure on its own. I fell over in ...

... and the boys played abit of rugby. On the walk back from the beach was this huge permanent fairground (called Antibes Land, orginal!!). We went in and went on some of the rides. It was BRILLIANT!! Such a laugh. Being a big thrill seeker I had to go on the biggest and fastest ride there and I managed to drag a few others on as well!!
