Monaco to London
Monday 2nd September 2013
Breakfast at our hotel in Monaco, then reluctantly checked out, got the TGV to Paris, which was over an hour delayed, so we only just made it in time for our Eurostar.

Monaco in the morning. Some people still hadn't quite left the party t Jimmyz yet.

06:48:38
The zoom on my camera just doesn't work does it?

Erika on the balcony in the morning.

07:49:34
In the lift heading down to breakfast.

07:54:10
The restaurant where breakfast is served - not a bad spot.

07:57:24
Rather lovely views out over the terrace to sea, and the ubiquitous yachts.

07:57:34
...and still a touch of pink in the sky.

08:05:11
Breakfast.

08:22:28
Me looking a bit smarmy.

08:46:19
Went for a wander around the pool after breakfast. I was starting to think I didn't really want to leave.

08:49:56
Very quiet at this time on a Monday!

08:51:18
The hotel's private jetty for people arriving by boat.

08:54:19
View of the hotel from the pool. The building may be a bit modern for my tastes, but I love the pool here.

09:04:51
One last shot in the hotel lift.

09:30:34
Just before reluctantly checking out.

10:33:32
Now in Monaco / Monte Carlo station, where the vending machine gave us two lots of madeleines for the price of one.

11:02:32
Boarding the TGV at Monaco station.

11:06:01
On the first little leg of the train to Nice.

11:10:56

11:14:30
Villefranche sur mer, where we'd stayed on a previous trip.

11:14:36

11:16:11
Erika in party mood.

11:51:23
After changing carriages at Nice, I think this is somewhere around Cannes.

14:04:37
Later on, lunch in the buffet car.

19:45:35
The TGV to Paris was over an hour later, and we only just made our Eurostar from Paris with literally a minute to spare.

20:06:56
Happy to have made the train, and a bit exhausted from the dashing about!

20:07:01
Bye bye France and Monaco - see you next time!
