Woke at 6.30am.
Got bags ready by 7.15, and had breakfast at 7.30. IT WAS RAINING! We were on the road @ 8am, stopped @ Montelimar for morning tea, somewhere else for lunch (I had spag bol) and then we got to Cannes @ 3.50pm. We did the quickest whiz around a couple of sights - I took some boat pics for Dave and sent him a postcard. It looks like an OK place, only it's a bit noisy and crowded. Reuben did some clever manoeuvring to get us in and out. A storm ended up developing, and it was completely miserable. Sue and I got drenched on thne way back to the bus.
We drove for another hour or something, and got to the campsite @ 6.30ish. It was PISSING down and we had to get the bags onto concrete from mud. So much for the south of France and the Riviera. . . We had a welcome drink and got a hilarious speech from Pet. I was on cooks' duty as a 'Preshus Pea' with Matt, so we served dinner and then sat down to eat it: turkey, beans, potatoes, corn, and gravy ( I was gravy girl).
After dinner I made a beeline for the shower and got ready, although I was still a bit late for the bus. We drove up through Nice to Monaco and Monte Carlo - the lights and the sheer cliffs are AMAZING - if only the weather was better. We were dropped off by Reuben @ the casino, and passing the furious sea (never seen anything quite so loud and dramatic) and after a bit of a walk through the Jags, BMWs, Mercs, and Rollers, got to the playing room.
I got a Kahlua and milk and wandered. I watched Laura win some money, and watched ppl playing the horse race game. I put 20 Francs into a poker machine, and won 10, but then lost the lot.
I found everyone up the corridor in the piano bar, and then we had to meet the bus. We got back to the campsite @ midnight, and the party adjourned to the bar, where it is happening right now, quite noisly. Gotta sleep, g'night.
