Monte Carlo to St Tropez


Monte Carlo was covered in barriers and sound systems for the forthcoming F1, so perhaps not the best time to visit, as it was difficult to pick a way through them.
MC Novotel very comfortable and the Salade Nicoise is to be recommended.
Silver Wind is as splendid as ever and several crew remembered TSH and Diva. Especially the wine waiters and sommelier. TSH had his first Silversea Danish of the year, which did not disappoint. This was followed in the afternoon by his first beer.
St Tropez was less glamorous and more quaint than either expected but walking round its narrow streets and along the harbour was very pleasant. Many SUPERyachts.
TSH saw a quite large octopus moving along the harbour floor which he thought was a good sighting – Diva was less impressed as it had disappeared before she got a chance to see it.
Referendum notes: The Nice taxi driver thought we should stay in with our semi-detached advantages (Euro, Schengen etc). But he also wanted Nice to get independence from France. Two people from USA thought we were in the Euro, which made travel very convenient.
