Sainte Valerie Hôtel Juan-les-Pins

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 ...

... 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 ...

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 ...

... Three hours later, we exited Sabatini's! A fantastic end to a very memorable day! Princess Lesia, this day was yours! Every second, every minute, every hour! I was honored to be your husband because every Princess has a Prince! And for the day, as I escorted you, I felt like Prince Richard!<br><br>Bonsoir!

... of getting into a speedo and hoped the pool nazi would overlook that rule. The boys however had tight boxer style bathing suits that we bought in Portugal and that seemed to please him. It&#8217;s been nice to meet neighbors at the pool and have appreciated their help in answering our questions. Bruce however in his limited French told someone about the lovely rose and violet jambon that we sampled on our trip to the Florian ...

... I'm beginning to vrees vir die land. Maybe it's just because now I'm on the outside and can't see all the way in. I've always liked to think that good ol' RSA deserves heaps of credit for our peaceful transition and that, despite the obvious problems that necessarily arise from racial conflict, we'll be all right. I have even long dismissed fear over the rise of that idiot Zuma, since I didn't believe him to hold that much support where it ...

... models &amp; Donald Trump-types. We were two unkempt Australians smelling like travel socks, wearing CIAO BELLA t-shirts and carnival capes. The Last Supper is located there, but we didn't really feel that compelled to go and check it out as it was over the other side of the city and was already plastered on every wall in our hotel. We decided to walk to the major attraction in the city - the Duomo. It turned out to be architecturally impressive - all jagged spires and towers. We ...

... otherwise he would had had to pay the 100 euro taxi fare back to Nice. Some people got dropped off in town to go out but after a huge last night last night alot of us just went back to the hotel and hung out in the rooms chatting for awhile. It was nice to relax after having a bis one last night. COSTS: 10E- black top 8.50E- Vanilla Room spray .90E- postcards 8.99E- sparkly bag 10E- brooch 13E- dinner&amp;desert .80E- postcards
