Sol E Mar St-Raphaël

... have an amazing view from Colline du Chateau. On saturday (November 28) we had sunshine and 19 degrees (end of November) and I was even swimming in the sea (15 gegrees), on sunday, November 29 we had rain and thunderstorms so that caused a delay of the plane of three hours. Best breakfast in town you find in "Les pains a tables" close to the market. Nice is a city I´d love to visit once a year minimum.....

... upon me it feels very strange and somewhat daunting. But to my knowledge no one has ever died from teaching children so I am sure I will survive.... My Amazon book order should arrive soon to inspire me. I am really looking forward to discovering the 100 things you can do with a paper plate. Life is never going to be the same!!

More when I start travelling...

... la chambre que nous avons réservé et qu'il en a pas d'autre disponible. Ils nous ont donc réservé une autre chambre dans un autre hotel...bon...déja la, avec la fatigue, on était pas trop trop contente. Retourne sur nos pas...15 minutes plus tard, on va chercher la chambre. Finalement, elle est plus jolie de ce quon était supposer de louer donc ca va....c'est moins pres de l'eau mais on peut pas tout ...

... at the Monte Carlo Casino. Mark was super keen on feeling like James Bond. He so wishes he was James Bond. It is kind of odd because once you are in the casino it is really quiet and not busy at all. Mark won about 300 euro so we were happy.

We checked out the start and finish line of the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix, along with the famous hairpin turn. Even the locals fang it around that corner.

We headed ...

... towels...ahhh it was wonderful. We even had a towel warmer in the bathroom and a separate toilet!!!! Also a mini fridge and a tv which had a whopping two english speaking channels, so we were finally able to watch the news...

Our hotel also had a day spa section. We decided to cap off our extravagant weekend with some more splurge, a 1hr massage each! It also included half an hour to use the jacuzzi and steam room. It hurt the bank account, but it was worth every penny! By ...

... Deze keer wel de canyon volledig tot beneden gedaan in plaats van eerder te stoppen zoals vorig jaar. Maar hebben dan nu ook geen rugzak onderweg vergeten!

Dit was verder ook onze laatste canyon van de week en na vandaag zullen we weer een heel tijdje geduld mogen uitoefenen om nog eens een canyon in te duiken!

... to a more local less expensive one down the road. two of the girls stayed and had these guys come up and buy them drinks but when we went back to get them they were off the heads and it turns out they had their drinks spiked - so they may be millionares but you cant even trust them lol. lucky we only left them for 30 mins. so then it was back on the bus and back to the hotel for another late night and early start. bec xx

... in the sun we headed to the old town but found everything was closed so headed to the other end of the harbour for a beer and then back onto the ship. There wasn't much to do (except shop and eat) but the beach was beautiful and the sun was shining so made us think twice about spending the next 2 years in London. The France coast would be a great alternative for a place to live!

... wine you end up buying the entire bottle, and I like to drink but not like that and the wine wasn't quite to my tastes, but they do have soft drinks and water for a reasonable price, so having that was great. The restaurant was fantastic: They had a daily, very inexpensive menu (food was 5 euros which is cheap for a regular meal in France) and it was good, French food prepared by a chef. You ordered at the bar, gave him your order and he made it for ...

... loved it. We took the tender boat to Villefranche in the morning and wandered around the cobbled streets and also visted nearby Monte carlo and Monaco in the afternoon, where Gus gambled a bit and won enough to buy the lovliest pair of leather shoes.
