Saturday 2nd Heading towards Switzerland in convoy with black Betty and fat freddy. The boys watched the crusaders vs waritahs game at the camp before we left, much to the amusement of most of the camp who were obviously football fans and couldn't quite work it what to make of Pete screaming at the TV. Left late arvo because of the rugby we Went via Italy as the route is less steep and therefore a bit easier on the old engines ! We hit a massive thunder storm ...

Friday 1st August Lazy day today saving energy for our big night in Monaco! The boys played a bug of rugby and then went for a dip in the sea which was right by the campsite.

Then we wandered through to the main town which is right by the mari...

Saturday 26th Headed for France, via Andorra which is a tiny mountainous country between France and Spain. It's a tax free haven so we stocked up on some booze and Liam bought a cigar for a special occasion. So cool though. All the cigars are kept in the tobacco section, but they are behind glass in a temperature controlled area, come of them were bloody expensive too! A lot of the clothes shops were labels like guess and Louis vuton so even though they were che...
