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 ...

POLSKI:<br>Ile razy bylismy w uroczym miasteczku Villefranche na francuskim Lazurowym Wybrzezu, tyle razy chcialam pojechac do Monaco. Moj grafik jednak mi na to nie pozwalal. Tym razem spielam sie w czasie i zaraz po porannej pracy pobieglam na dworzec kolejowy. Pociag do Monte Carlo, w obie strony, kosztowal mnie cale 5 Euro, a jazda trwala 15-20 minut. Widoki sliczne, ale najlepsza byla jednak Starowka Monte Carlo oraz samochody ...

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 ...

... 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 ...

... Canadian Prairies to immigrant Ukrainian parents, who's now raised a family of her own, continues to value and be proud of her Ukrainian heritage! So, today, Elsie becomes Lesia, that beautiful Ukrainian Princess! And could there be a more appropriate location than Monaco! For those who may not be aware, the name Elsie translates to Lesia in Ukrainian.<br><br>So, the Ruby Princess takes Princess Lesia to ...

Monaco happens to be the second smallest country after the Vatican and what they both lack in size they certainly make up for in wealth. Monaco weighs in at a minuscule 1.95 sq km but is home to some of the most wealthy and famous people in the world. Monaco is also famous for its Grand Prix that it hosts every year and we were keen to walk the track as the race takes place in the streets of Monaco. We found that the best way to do this is to pay a 'small ...

... the next day. What do we know about Monaco - they have a royal family, a casino and a race track. Went to the palace first and missed the changing of the guards by 10 mins. Walked along the race track past the yachts, some of which are quite a bit bigger than my house, all the way to the casino and back on the train to Vila Franche ...

... The only cars in Monte Carlo are Astor Martin, Porsche, Ferrari, or Rolls Royce...it is insane!! I had to take a picture of the valet parking at the Hotel De Paris. Then last night we went to a Sports Bar along the pier for Margaritas. The place was called Stars and Bars. It was kind of a Planet Hollywood/Jack Astor's combo. It was pretty expensive for a Sports Bar...but how often are you in Monte Carlo drinking Margaritas? Monte Carlo is definately an experience, that's for sure!
