Le Relais D'Agay

... have an amazing view from Colline du Chateau. On saturday (November 28) we had sunshine and 19 degrees (end of November) and I was even swimming in the sea (15 gegrees), on sunday, November 29 we had rain and thunderstorms so that caused a delay of the plane of three hours. Best breakfast in town you find in "Les pains a tables" close to the market. Nice is a city I´d love to visit once a year minimum.....

... upon me it feels very strange and somewhat daunting. But to my knowledge no one has ever died from teaching children so I am sure I will survive.... My Amazon book order should arrive soon to inspire me. I am really looking forward to discovering the 100 things you can do with a paper plate. Life is never going to be the same!!

More when I start travelling...

... tait puisqu'on partait encore dans la nuit.
Et bien...notre train quittait surement au moment de cette discussion...

Et oui...on a manqué notre train...
Puisqu'il avait pas d'autre moyen de se rendre a toulouse, on a du redormir à l'hotel une autre nuit et partir le lendemain....

Je vous ai dis que oiseau ma chier dessus à Marseille? C'était pas supposé de me porter chance ca?

... at the Monte Carlo Casino. Mark was super keen on feeling like James Bond. He so wishes he was James Bond. It is kind of odd because once you are in the casino it is really quiet and not busy at all. Mark won about 300 euro so we were happy.

We checked out the start and finish line of the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix, along with the famous hairpin turn. Even the locals fang it around that corner.

We headed ...

... the whole area was closed, with no eateries open. When we had exited the train station, we were supposed to go right and unfortunately we went left, and ended up doing a giant circle that lasted almost 2 hours, taking us past a football ground and also through the giant harbour. So when we arrived at the market/town area, and all was closed we now had a search on our hands to locate somewhere open to eat, since we were very hungry by now and the hulk was rearing in both of us!

Nice, Provence, France dan-and-dee

... Deze keer wel de canyon volledig tot beneden gedaan in plaats van eerder te stoppen zoals vorig jaar. Maar hebben dan nu ook geen rugzak onderweg vergeten!

Dit was verder ook onze laatste canyon van de week en na vandaag zullen we weer een heel tijdje geduld mogen uitoefenen om nog eens een canyon in te duiken!

... deze nog verder naar beneden moeten afdalen of dat we dan te ver zijn en weer vertrokken zijn voor een lange uitloop.

Samen besluiten we dan maar om aan de rechterkant zelf een uitweg te zoeken uit de canyon. Langs een steenlawine kruipen we langzaam omhoog om uiteindelijk de verharde weg terug te vinden.
Een steenlawine omhoog kruipen is echter geen aanrader. Als je dit kan vermijden, zeker doen!

... Anglais - just a few blocks from our hotel - a couple of men standing outside a restaurant greeted us with, "You must eat here! You are looking for a place, yes? This is the best!" I laughed and said, "Are you sure it is the best?" And he said, "It depends. Where are you from?" "San Francisco," I said ... so then he said, "Yes, it is the best, then! You must come in ...

... and takes them for me and I tell him where im going, but as we both look there is no train at that time. He finds out for me that my ticket says Genova Brignole and Im at Genova Principe.--I got off one stop early (I should have known better to make sure that there is not more than one station). The man who helps me must work at the station because he talks to the others working the train and they let me ride to the next station but my train leaves exactly when this ...

... because Matt was still hungry after our dodgy meal at dinner!! This is the first time we mention the World Cup because this was the first World Cup game we watched on the tour, but it most certainly was not the last. The dates of our tour, just happened to coincide with the World Cup matches, which pretty much made our Contiki tour a World Cup tour. I sware, the boys were obsessed!! That night's game was Italy (definitely) vs the Netherlands (I think) so we cheered for Italy!
