La Bastide aux Oliviers Vence

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!!!

... seen and spoken to, to date. <br> Set off mid morning to drive through Gorges du Verdon, again another stunning drive. This time though the weather was kind to us and we were able to get out for a hike after lunch. It seemed like a popular drive as we encountered several other tourists, one couple were eating lunch at the same spot we were. They packed up their picnic, took a swig out of ...

... along and give way to motorcyclists. The only problem was that they would pull up beside us and stare while driving. At one point I wanted to pull into the right lane and couldn&#8217;t because a young woman and her boyfriend were along side me gawking. Every time I sped up or slowed to get into the lane, they would match my speed, waving and smiling. Such nice people&#8230;now get the hell out of my way!!! In ...

... it was pretty windy, so continued on. Had the name of a caravan park recommended by a neighbouring camper in Avignon so headed straight there - it turned out to be perfect - a nice spot 'behind' the coast, with a pool and all the facilities.

... of him again....l think he may have arrived in Nice but the Pink Lady stole him and put in in one of her large black garbage bags littering her small dirty restaurant!! JFK! But this little blue bottle of sunscreen has nearly seen more of the world then me in one week thanks to Kats persistence in getting him back to her!
