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

... first day in Nice was spent on the beach, we couldn't wait to go into the ocean, that we went swimming without towels. Wasn't a good idea since Nice is all rock beaches and we couldn't really sit to dry off... WE had a delicous pasta dinner at Pasta Basta and ordered the finest wine on ...

Later, we enjoyed some leisure time walking around the Palace Square, through the lanes and streets of Monaco-Ville. At 3pm sharp, we watched the Changing of the Guard in front of the Royal Palace. <br><br>Back at the ...

... the helicopter might be ok as well. We also joked about how rough it must be to have a small apartment overlooking the Nice beach (which were probably worth 700000 euros (over a million dollars).<br><br>We wandered through the old town for a bit and came back to the hostel. It was nice to have a camera again, but the battery is dead, so I'll try to get pictures later.<br><br><br><br>Bonne nuit<br><br><br>

... throw away at the roulette table- they are nuts!! Although they don't allow it, I tired to take pictures of the inside of this fabulous building and didn't succeed. copied from the internet

... cart, another ornate silver piece with a huge sculpted piece of butter that was shaved as desired. Matthew ordered a bottle of Ducru-Beaucaillou with dinner, the most expensive bottle of wine we'll probably ever drink! Next, Matthew and I decided to share the duck (which had to be ordered for 2), and Emma decided to have the filet du boeuf - both were delicious! We were then served a selection of cheeses, a pre ...

A day with the elite... So today we got up early and hopped on a train to Monte Carlo, Monoco. It was a really short ride (About 35 mins), but the group loved being on the train with "Compartments" like Harry Potter, and that a "Trolly" came by with goodies like the Express train to Hogwarts... It's the little things that amuse us sometimes!! OUr first 45 mins of Monte Carlo were a bit of a mess. We walked all the ...
