Odalys Residence Les Campanettes Fréjus

It is Sunday and very wet and miserable here in Antibes. Quite a change from the glorious day we had yesterday. Ideal for computer work in fact... (Except that then things didn't pan out as planned and it is now Monday)

It wasn't my intention to have an entry before my departure but the response to my initial circular has been so overwhelming that I feel it merited an ...

... 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.

... they were forced to part, and i kid you not they kissed on the lips. thats right THE LIPS. apparently they start early here in france....


so on we went and arrived in tours. Albeit after a long sleepless night on the train and a brief moment in paris that included a walk to the seine.
On our way into the hostel we found an old thing, and a big church, followed by an even bigger church, followed by the wrong part of old town, then a ...

... Alfa appear to be wagons bringing home the wine and sausage. In France, Peugeot, Citroen and mostly Renault are the ones delivering the bread.

Another interesting car trend was present throughout the journey. That would be the brand of choice for police cars, taxis and buses. Predictably, the police cars are manufactured by the companies that reside in that particular country. So, in Germany police ...

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 ...

Saturday 10th May Life in the Cote d' Azur is all very well. The sun is still shining, and the tan lines are beginning to be visible. So far, so good, only Pete and I have had a tiny bit of sun burn. We are of course making sure our two munchkins are fully sun creamed, as I don't think the grandparents would ever forgive us if they came to any harm!!! Last Sunday we spent our day exploring Provence. On our journey down from Lyon, the area looked lush and green, compared ...

... sheep, some goats, some cows and I believe some pigs as well. I don't remember seeing any chickens...I think I saw a donkey as well but don't remember. I think that they were going to hold the play that night and the next day (Remember this was Christmas Eve). Then on the other side of the manger I saw an old Romanesque looking church. I decided to walk in side to not only see what it looked like, but also to get an idea of when ...

... Antibes to Juan les Pins around the coast right? It's only an inch or so on the map. This, my friends, is what a top-notch college education will buy you these days in the States. I walked for three hours and hadn't even rounded the Cap. And, sadly, I did not know the path ends somewhere out there. Then you have to walk back. I arrived that night back in the Cap d'Ail youth hostel with bloody ankles and a wretched attitude. Then I ...

... climb higher and higher into the sky to have some really amazing views of Nice. There's even a bunch of ruins left from where the original walls of the fort used to stand. Very cool. Because of the fact that it's Christmas eve a lot of stuff in Nice was closed today, which was alright with me, I'd rather just head back to the villa, take it easy and enjoy the views from the top of this hill we're on. There's a few kids here that work here or stay at the villa while they're going to ...
