Weekend in Monte Carlo

Where do I start??? After years of separation and the fact that we actually live close by, it was quite appropriate to pack our bags and head off to Monte Carlo. For this euphoric mission, I've conscripted the main woman in my life... my mother (so...

 

Marvellous Monaco

Nice, August 2007

My week in Nice involved a lot of relaxing by the pool, eating and drinking – a contrast to the majority of my trips in Europe which have been sightseeing extravaganzas. I stayed at the Burnford’s newly built house about 30 minutes drive inland from N...

Europe = love

Saturday morning, I got up and went to meet the other Jill, for a bit of Paris sightseeing. Unfortunately, when we went to put her luggage in the train station lockers, her wallet got stolen. I feel awful, because I actually saw the guy who did it, but...

France, Monaco & Itlay. 2001.

When the plane approached Nice, everyone in my class was looking out the windows where you could see we were right above the Mediterranean Sea and so close to the shore line. Nice was nothing like any of us had expected! Our teacher hadn’t given us a...
