Park Inn Nice Airport

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 ...

... the wonderful "fun" and "vitamin" radio stations to keep us entertained with "Evacuate the Dancefloor" and 3 other dance songs that they kept repeating.<br><br>http://picasaweb.goog le.com/Jonny.D.Lawrence/20090928Cannes? authkey=Gv1sRgCPHzqZ_hy_fA8AE&amp;feat= directlink

... the Grimaldi family. And where Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly joined in marriage in St. Nicholas Cathedral. In the square of Monaco-Ville, the Royal Palace could be found. From here, you could see all the districts of Monaco including Fontevielle, La Condamine and Monte-Carlo. Not to mention the breathtaking view of Port Hercules, more commonly known as the Port of Monte-Carlo! Here you could see the ...

... grubby attire. But, whatever, i dont need a Gucci suit. I played a couple games of poker with 10 euro blinds, which was the cheapest thing in the whole casino. Came out only losing 10 euro for about an hour's worth of time. Not bad. Headed back to Nice and enjoyed another great meal by yours truly. Oh, i love the fact that i know how to cook good food.<br><br>Upon getting back, I join 4 aussies, the two germans, the chick that's movnig to Lisbon and the norweign girl ...

... We had bought Jatz crackers and Camembert cheese but the cheese was a few days old and starting to stink so we stashed that in a rubbish bin in first class (all class, I know).  The views along the way, even at 300km per hour, changed from green and lush to become more mountainous and craggy as we sped towards the Mediterranean Sea.  At one point I could even see the snow covered alps bordering France with Switzerland.<br><br>The sun was shining in Nice and it was a lot warmer ...

... afford to live there. I don't think I saw anyone who looked like a resident the entire time I was there... I guess they were all too busy sitting on their balconies in furry bathrobes. Montecarlo is famous for the Grand Prix and for its casinos, namely the Le Grand Casino. Unfortunately our weekend was a little rushed so we didn't have time to go into it. The most recent James Bond movie "Casino Royale" was filmed in Monaco... and I kept waiting for Daniel Craig to ...

Here, i slept on the beach in Nice France, with my three American friends. I wish i could have spent more time in Nice but unfortunately, it was just to watch the sunrise before catching a train back to Paris. Nice was a smaller city on the east coast of France, really nice ...
