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>

Up early as it was a spectacular sunrise - full of pinks and organges. We wanted to hit McWifi before we entered Italy but we did not find one until later in the day in Menton. Before that we drove the coast road through Nice and Monte Carlo, both concrete ...

Gorgeous morning and a stunning place for breakfast awaited us just outside Scooby overlooking the lake. I went for a run but Kim was feeling a little under the weather so she stayed and made me breakfast - yay! We spotted two girls about our age and attempted to engage in some conversation but their English was limited and French is rubbish. Shame as its manily been the grey hair brigade we ...

... 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

... br><br>Today's Royal itinerary takes us on a tour of Monaco, including old Monaco and the Royal Palace. It's uncertain whether the schedules of Prince Albert or Princess Caroline will allow for a meeting with Princess Lesia but our respective public relations staff are working on it!<br><br>The tour of Monaco-Ville, also known as Old Monaco included a walk through the narrow streets that once ...

... water is rough and big waves again. Len goes in and is enjoying it and having fun playing around. I got my feet wet, but it gets deep fast, so I don't want to go in at all, especially with the big waves.<br><br>I sit and read and when Len is tired he comes out and showers off. We look at all the motor homes along the beach. I bet they were here at 6 a.m. There is a sign that says no ...

... a tour of a perfume factory and walked up several steps to the touristy town that included a church, some restaurants, some shops and a hotel or two. My friend, Sydney, and I saw a really cool garden with statues and a life-size chess set but it was part of a hotel and private. We decided, hey, we're in France, so we jumped the fence and got some pictures with the chess set without getting caught. My other friend, Cara, was too scared to go so she took pictures of us ...

... each, a cute kitchen with regrigerator, stove, sink, small table, and a dishwasher! The bathroom is split into the toilet room and the shower with a washing machine! It's really exciting that we don't have to go to a laundromat and I think I'm going to hang my clothes off of the balcony like the residents do. I've taken pictures but not of my room because it's not clean. Since I'm writing this now though and I haven't unpacked, I should just take a ...

FINALMENTE!!! Depois de 3 meses, a Cibelle chegou. Na vinda do aeroporto já conhecemos Nice e compramos baguette e croissants pro café da manhã. Em casa, fiz um jantar surpresa com salmão, arroz vinho branco e profiteroles. No dia seguinte, andamos MUITO por todas as lojas de decoração de casa da Côte d'Azur e compramos quase o Carrefour todo! Pra terminar, tomamos vinho a beira da praia, do lado de casa.

... to the campsite for dress-up and dinner then headed out to Monaco to see the Monte-Carlo Casino and the famous Monte-Carlo Formula 1 Race Track. Everyone, absolutely every person was either in a Rolls Royce, Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes and any other top notch car you can think of. The casino was just a regular casino (cannot compare to Vegas at all) but the outside was just unbelievable. I played a bit of roulette and while Peter was standing ...
