A Humdinger of a Boabydazzler

What a stonker of a day. The French Riviera as I imagined...but a little bit better.
Day started as always with a couple of pain au chocolat and a couple of donuts, not sure what the girls had. We then headed early doors for Monaco, within 10 minutes along motorway the horizon was of snowy mountain peaks, with the dashboard showing it was 20 degrees. fantastic sight I have only witnessed snowy peaks in that sort of heat before at Aviemore and Florida. After passing through dozens of tunnels and paying a king's ransom in tolls we reached Monaco...well almost, could see it below but missed the turning. Anyway that loss was our gain as we ended up in Menton which sits on the Italian border, it is surrounded by mountains protecting it from most inclement weather. It has an all year round supply of lemons and is very much based on lemons. The sun was shining and the streets lined with orange and lemon trees in full bloom, the town smelt of lemon and most shops had lemon wares. People drove lemon cars, restaurants served lemon pizzas and the toilet rolls were made of lemon peel....I think. Kiera found a great playpark and after a walk we ordered 2 genuine mammoth sized ice creams that lasted us the walk back to the car.
Off to Monaco and after a couple of automobile altercations arrived safely at edge of Grand Prix route. (4 horns blasted at me, 2 totally justified and the other 2 subject to 4th officials view). Had a lovely lunch at harbour where they are preparing the stands for the Grand Prix. We then travelled by boat across harbour to visit old city and palace. Boat trip free for the day courtesy of Prince Bertie as the tennis on at Monte Carlo (Come on the Murray Meister). Fantastic time sights and weather fandabidosi.
Then to Cannes which was more beautiful than I expected. Walked round the main sites and then stopped for a crepe....no lemon skins here!
We are now back at site and watching the Friday night cabaret from outside as Kiera is scared of the man with the green hair...not sure what phobia that is.
Well tomorrow more cloudy but Karla wants to visit Grasse which I believe provides the main fragrances for the main perfumeries. I note the Buddies playing at 12.30, so I should be able to pick up live on laptop. Monaco play Rennes tomorrow night, may be see if I can get a pass and a sub on my €5 for next couple of days.
