Taking a little coach journey .. Nice to Monaco ...

Our Tour Manager Kevin

was brilliant, he gave us

of options for travel ,,

 

Either drop us off at Nice St Augustin railway station ,

so we can make our own way to Monaco

or take the bus with him,, this time it was

on the scenic route ...

 

So Linda and I decided we would do this ,

with photo opportunities' on the way ..

 

 

The Lighthouse of Nice ..

 

 

On one of the bends approaching Villefranche -sur-Mer,

on the Boulevard Princess Grace,

 is a memorial to the actress Grace Kelly,

 wife of His Serene Highness Prince Rainier of Monaco.

Back on the road again... this time Villefranche de Rouergue

Jean, Laury and I took

a trip to this fabulous place.

You do need a car to get there

and Jean kindly drove.

 Jean is a lovely

friend of Laury's who lives in Cadrieu.

She is not French nor American, she

is English and comes from Ipswich.

And spookily enough she used to

teach in the village where my

dad is buried and her granddaughter

works in the town where my youngest son lives!!!

On the way back we lost our way to

the carpark .. had a rough idea

but went down the wrong road.... we knew

where we had to head though, as I had taken

this photo from the carpark at the start of the trip !!
