Apologies for the delay in blog writing, far too busy sunning it up on the south of france and sicily, so here goes...we start our travels from Andorra to South of France (beautiful yet bloody slow roads) so took us about 12 hours....and we hadn,t booked a campsite.....in the busiest week in the french calendar.....yaheeeeee, Barcelona all over again....god I love the 30 plus degrees....!!!! Anyway, finally found a campsite in agay, HA, no really...it was very nice, very welcoming stop! a dip in the sea and tea...we crashed out...NIIIIIIGHT!

Today was officially a beach day in Agay....that,s it. Not much to say but lovely all te same..

Went to Nice, probably a gorgeous city but the beckoning of a typical french bar caught us and several litres of wine and a few million rounds of cards had us sat there for a wee while, oh well we enjoyed it....later we walked up pissed to the castle thing thinking we really should do something cultural but we only got halfway and rolled back down the hill, so all of this followed by a gelato and then trained it back home )in posibly THE hottest train that ever existed)! So, we went back to Saint Raphael to provoke some adolescent memories for Torze and ate possiby the largest meal in France (each) and then walked round the night market with 17 million other tourists, was so hot Holly had one of her heads and then we went to get a taxi and thankfully these nice french people let us in and obviously could sense our plight and didn.t let us pay anything, helped towards the budget situation!

So today was a funny one really, didnt get fìgoing until like 3 in the afternoon because Holly insisted on organising the car! which, by the way, is a mess already! so, we went to the supermaket and finally decided to have a barbecue on the beach so went in search of a disposable, apparently they don.t exist in france, so a cold picninc it was, on the beach, was very nice all the same. The rest of the afternoon was spent swimming eating and sunning it up (sorry Johanna i will be wrinkly!). All was absolutley fine until all was calm on the beah, Holly went for a little explore (searching for a pee pee spot) and fell (almost) to her death on what can oly be described as moon rock into the sea, her screams could be heard across the bay, Torze didn.t actually flinch because of the boy who cried wolf, needless to say holly scraped her body )at least the burn disappeared) and broje her coconut bracelet...sad times :(!

Today we poshed it up and went to Monaco, good times...missed the changing of the guard becuse of torze's dodgy orienteering, but saw the crowds so halfway there really. Then we went down to the port for lunch and wine...then looked at the boats...dear christ, we want one, when we make our first billion we will get one! Then we walked round a little more to the usual sites and went to the casino where torze saiddouble or nothing on black jack, she dubled....good times....then lost it on like this made up game "casino war"...bad times! had to hand in a 5 euro chip, VERY embarrassing when we saw people splas 5 grand on one round of blackjack...home time, al was well until what only can be described as a vagabond stared at me (torze) all the way from monaco to cannes, holly slept through it and didn.t believe me untill she saw him for herself, we were both very scared but he got off before torze cried rape...bad times!

18-08-2008
toay we poshed it up again and hung overly (if that.s a word) visited saint tropez, a 20 km drive turned into two hours cos of the bloody standstill coasal roads but we finally got there (via a maccy d's...oops it fel in my mouth). saint tropez was gorgeous, walked roun the port, sunbathed, spotted jelly fish, shopped a little and generally enjoyed pretending to be able to afford the prada bags in the window! Very nice day, was a little shorter on the return journey and had an early night ready for our day in Genoa.
