Well, as Karls has stated we are well settled into Frejus which certainly has many happy memories for her. I am sure I saw a tear in her eye when she re-visited the Discothèque from many years ago, I am sure nothing has changed including the communal toilets clearly built by the Romans.
Watched the Man Utd game last night and crowd pretty well split, certainly a great goal. We then orienteered back to the caravan in 2 groups – the 2 Ks and myself – and both of us got lost, but eventually made it back. About 11 the rain really started to pour, so we headed for bed and a decent kip, but were woken by a church bell that was ringing every minute rather than every hour, it then quickened to about every 30 seconds and I decided it was the bell behind the bar being rung for tips, despite the fact we are half a mile from bar and no-one seems to give tips. Eventually as it got worse we both investigated and found it was the rain hitting the expelair unit on the roof. As we were both struggling to get to sleep drastic action was needed, so we removed the cover from inside the caravan and packed with various towels, reduced noise by about half but probably increased the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning by 10 (alarm in caravan). Anyway we finally got to sleep, probably more exhaustion than reducing the irritance of the rings.
Woke up and it was pelting down so girls headed for inside pool and then we went to Frejus to visit Hypermarket for provisions. French still very challenging at the driving stakes and clearly in these parts, road signs and etiquette go for nothing it is every man for himself. In the evening we went back to Frejus beach and took a couple of pictures to show there are blue skies. Still to visit the Roman Amphitheatre, which I am really looking to visit.
Liam has sent Karla a list of locations/restaurants visited when they were last here, but am not sure that Karla’s excellent but frugal budgeting will allow more than a starter.
Off to grace Monaco tomorrow as it is our only day that sunshine guaranteed and then we may go on to Italy for another stamp in the passport. My daily ration of €5 is unlikely to see me hitting Monte Carlo, so will just have to use it to buy a Scottish Newspaper.
A splendid chilli nachos for dinner this evening prepared by moi and a visit to the weekly karaoke, too noisy for Kiera so the girls returned whilst I watched Man City game.
Arrivederci

Shortly after you leave St Raphael (My second name - no less!)you will come across the plush apartment village of Cap Esteral on your left. We spent a super 2 weeks there. Mind you the stress of knowing that your car was unlocked all night did temper the joy somewhat!! The weather in Ireland is - how shall I put this - Eh! Scotland in the winter!!! But booked in for Neil Young and Leonard Cohen this summer, so all is not yet lost!!
