Kyriad - Cannes La Bocca

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 ...

... Sailboats were docked at the marina (knez, it made me think of you). Diane ordered mussles and Jon and I had our first mussels ever. They were delicious. Thank you Diane for helping me discover my love for sea food. St-Tropez was further than we thought, but thank god we ...

... br><br>Today's Royal itinerary takes us on a tour of Monaco, including old Monaco and the Royal Palace. It's uncertain whether the schedules of Prince Albert or Princess Caroline will allow for a meeting with Princess Lesia but our respective public relations staff are working on it!<br><br>The tour of Monaco-Ville, also known as Old Monaco included a walk through the narrow streets that once ...

... at 20,000 Euros each. I talked to Pattinson a bit after the dinner, he seemed normal, a kid thrown into the spotlight, and I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s yet aware of his starpower. Some of the other Hollywood kids included Emile Hirsh (who is so short he could do stunts for Vern Troyer), Josh Hartnett, BJ Novak, and Joshua Jackson.<br><br>Post dinner by the pool was a place for us commoners (aka: non-celebs) to mix with the glitterati. The DJ spun actual vinyl, instead of a ...

... then an Irish women who I talked to for a little while. When we got there, we walked around for a little while and got situated at a small wine bar. The patio was a cloud of smoke (by the way- EVERYONE smokes cigarettes here), but it was still nice as we drank some wine as an apéritif (apparently, the French take this drinking course very seriously as the wine bar was packed). Anyways, we ended up at yet another Italian restaurant (they are the cheapest and have ...

... pay, came out, put in her change, went in, the door wouldn't shut, came out and tested it. Yes, it shut. Now she was locked out. OH MY GAWD. It was too painful to watch!!! She mumbled to herself. I mumbled to myself. Hey, she's French, she'll have no problem complaining to the cashier. A few minutes later she was standing in front of the elevator. No, she never did get in. La vie est dure! (Life is hard) Geez. FINALLY ...

... no avail. It seems his feet are just too big for France. Perhaps he should do like his Mum, and bind them down to a size 11. With a couple of kilos of fresh strawberries and some colourful handbags in hand, we return to our elegant parking lot beneath the Noga Hilton. We feel the &euro;8.00 parking fee was well worth the price. We all enjoyed our short sojourn in Cannes, and wished we had more time. But our programme calls for ...
