The chaps visit

Mike, Jeannie, Emma and Marie.

All 3 of the Chaps came over for a good week. This is the correct amount of time, as there is heaps to see. It's enough time to relax on the beach for a bit too.

On Thursday afternoon, I ducked out of work early for the second time this week, and picked them up from the train station in town. I took Friday off. So we had a nice relaxing day, as the boys were in school. We headed up to St Paul de Vence, which is one of the nicest perched villages around.

Saturday we went to Coursegoules, which is a tiny village up in the hills, well outside of the towns. It has almost no homes around, v. picturesque. Then we went to the beach for a swim.

Sunday, we went to Nice to the look out over town. We picked them up, and had 7 people in the car. The Municipal police told us "it is forbidden!". So we stopped, let the kids go nuts in the park, and walked it from there. The views are the best for town. Followed this by a swim in the kinda frosty water.

Monday, they had the day off to do their own thing. Tuesday everyone got on the train to Antibe, and I met them on the beach for dinner and some drinks for Jeannie's birthday. Wednesday was at Eze, and Thursday, Marie took them to the airport for a eye watering 7am flight.
