PV-Holidays Residence Pierre & Vacances Port Prestige Antibes

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!!!

... wine bottle and then we thought they were off on the trail, but no they got in the car and drove on! <br> 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.

... 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 ...

... Canadian Prairies to immigrant Ukrainian parents, who's now raised a family of her own, continues to value and be proud of her Ukrainian heritage! So, today, Elsie becomes Lesia, that beautiful Ukrainian Princess! And could there be a more appropriate location than Monaco! For those who may not be aware, the name Elsie translates to Lesia in Ukrainian.<br><br>So, the Ruby Princess takes Princess Lesia to ...

... as the days go on.<br><br>Len says I am doing too much on the blog, but with the change to their program I have to figure it out sometime and today is just as good as any day.<br><br>Len went to check out the pool, it is at the very far end of the resort, busy and not many chairs to be had.<br><br>Lunch, at 2, is pb sandwiches with apples.<br><br>We go to the beach this afternoon ...

... and probably 5 other languages. She now speaks French and English like a pro and usually only speaks German to her mother on the phone and her husband (who she taught it to). On the bus, she gave us a quick tour of the Cap d'Antibes (where I go running every day) which is the peninsula where all the rich people live. We then drove to Eze which is a small town, part of which is up on a mountain and the other part is by the ocean. We went up to the top of the mountain where we ...

... I found another girl who also waiting in the wrong line with me. We figured out we are actually roommates! She is really nice. When we got to Antibes, we were met at the airport and put in a cab. Someone met us at the end of our cab drive and paid the 65 euros, luckily. She took us to our apartment which is really nice. There are two balconies, a living room big enough for two couches, a desk, a tv and an armoir. There are two bedrooms with two beds ...

... parking is never a problem, and no payment required, bikes and scooters park anywhere there is a space. Today we are off the Cannes, Linda has not bought any shoes in europe as the prices are unbelieveble the same in Euros as we pay in Dollars, clothing is very expensive in Siena we saw addidas tracksuits on reduced price sale in a supermarket down to 50 euros for the top or bottom, about 100 dollars!!!!!!

... We returned to the city center and spent 4 hours wandering throughout the market and then some shops, which finally brought us to another pebbled beach. The French market really made me feel like I was in Italy. Everything that was being sold was antique; exactly what we at home try to get rid of. Everything that people sell at garage sales and what we think looks really old, they buy and not for cheap I might add. anyway, left Nice, went ...
