What a sleep! - Lovely bed & air con comfort. When we woke up we found our backs and bums were sore from galloping!! ...Yoghurt and fruit breakky at our gypsy caravan which Ros got half of down her PJ's! Then ventured outside where it was stinking hot - nearly ready to go. Just need to check out of the Hotel. When we checked out, Ros was sweating so much the lady in reception gave us 2 bottles of cold water! Ros rode 230ks non stop - 188 of which was on one motorway heading in a straight direction! Trooper! Toll roads! We came across half a dozen tolls along the way. After being here for over a week, we thought we knew what we were doing when it came toll road time! Either take a ticket at point a and pay upon exiting point B OR pay 'X' amount upfront (usually with coins in a large coin collection basket) at a check point. The check points got us. Twice in a row we held up cars behind us waiting to go through. We put the money in when it was our turn but the boom gate would not go up to let us pass. Both times we were lucky to get help but we still don't know what we did wrong!!! A little apprehensive about the next toll check point! (Another toll road!) On our way into Menton: We found a cafe on the beach front of Menton. Both ravenous, we knocked off lunch with an ice cold beer which went straight to our heads on an empty stomach! - (On anther note - Ros's burn is beginning to blister - from burning her chop on the bike exhaust in Grenoble) so... We stopped at the pharmacy. Sorted! Next we picked up our keys and ventured off to find our apartment. We got there, although it was a bit of a puzzle. Right next to the railway... stunning scenery! :-p - After Pol had a quick nap (1.5hrs!!!) we were off to Monte Carlo to win a pile of money in the casino... Pol decided to get to train. 8 euros for both of us return! - On the way to Monte Carlo station: Monte Carlo! First we had a wander around, everyone was dripping with money, cars, clothes, jewellery and face lifts! We went to the Nikki Beach bar on the water, rooftop, funky tunes, posh, swimming pool, cabana style seating. Pol's glass of champer was 25 euro!!!! We didn't know! Then we tried to get into the casino. Pol couldn't get in with her shoes... The vibrams... Even though security said he hadn't seen them before! Check out the old fiat!- Then we got a bite to eat at a reasonably proved restaurant overlooking the harbour - ...Then had a walk and got our brekky food for tomorrow (including Pol's glass of wine to go for 1.50). (wine to go!) (Kinder selection!!!!) Caught the train home...But it's bloody hot and no air con tonight!
