Last week I spend 4 days in the South of France in a small village called Villefranche with my Aunt and Uncle. It's a beautiful place with sheltered bays and turquoise water. We spent Monday exploring Nice; we walked along the promenade, browsed through the expensive designer shops, walked up to the viewpoint and man made waterfall. Tuesday we walked around the bay and over to Beaulieu-sur-Mer yet another beautiful bay. We spent the afternoon on my balcony watching the boats coming in and out of the harbour. On Wednesday we went to Monaco and Monte Carlo, I was hoping to see someone rich and famous but no luck. It rained for most of the afternoon (hence the bad hair in the photos - well more so than usual!). Had a great time wandering round checking out the enormous boats (twice the size of a house) and the fast cars. We went and saw the changing of the guards at Price Alberts. Thursday we had a wander round Villefranche as it was raining heavily. We had one last ice cream and a wander along the front before heading to the airport for our flight home. Overall a great 4 days - even if Scotland had better weather!!
