8 July
Apologies for doubling up on photos of Cinque Terre...was rushing and the email threw me out. When I got back in, posted a couple of the same photos.
Did you ever see the film, If it's Tuesday, It Must be Belgium". Starting to feel a little like that – three countries in three days. We're about to go ashore in Barcelona. Have to change to Wenas Dias (incorrect spelling I know) from Bonjour from Bonjourno. Yesterday we took the train from Cannes to Monte Carlo/Monaco with Allan and Sally. It is a picturesque trip along the Cote Azur, running along the beach most of the way and giving a good view of the villas of the rich and famous and luxury towns like Antibes and Juan Les Pins. Next year's cruise calls at Monaco so you don't need train instructions. I was ambivalent about going to Monaco but found I really liked it. It wasn't all the glitz that I expected just picturesque and elegant. We were trying to work out how to get from the railway station to where we wanted to go when our son Peter phoned from Australia. After chatting he said no problem, turn left, go past the Ferrari shop and then head towards the water. Very convenient. He was here last year for the Grand Prix. Allan and Sally climbed up to the palace but we just wandered around town. This was one place I wanted to buy a Tshirt but, apart from Grand Prix merchandise, touristy things were scarce. Apparently, this wasn't the case up at the palace. And just think, we were in Monaco when Prince Albert announced his engagement....do you think Womens Day would be interested in an interview!!! The weather is still very hot and after the walk back from the station it was bliss to jump in the pool. We had another sailaway party last night...photos will be posted above. Of course..no alcohol involved!! - whatsoever!!!
