Hi Everyone
We were just walking through Antibes looking for a nice bottle of wine to take to Ian`s when we noticed this cybercafe so we have taken the opportunity to update you a little before we depart on the train. Unfortunately the keyboard is all mixed up and it takes a bit of finding some of our more popular keys and don`t ask me where the proper apostrophe is so forgive me for the bad punctuation.
We dumped our wee tent in the bin today because all the connecting strings had rotted away while it was folded away damp and we have been precariously living in the hope that it would stay up for the duration of our visit to Antibes and it has served us well. We would never have been able to errect it again so rather than carry dead weight, it is in the bin.
We have had such a great time in Antibes and a lot of this has to do with the owners of the campsite where we stayed. Jeanne and Mark were the friendliest of people who were always ready to help, made us laugh a lot and gave us the odd french lesson, so, a big thank you to them.
Yesterday we went to Grasse and managed to spend eight hours there going from one museum to another and from one view point to another. Rather than take the bus from the station to the old town centre, we decided to walk up the 200 steps to get there (we must have been having withdrawal symptoms) and it was quite a hike but well worth it because the view was magnificent and again we have the photos to bore you with when we get home. You won't believe it but just as we were waiting for the train home from Grasse the heavens opened again and we encountered our third thunderstorm of our trip and we thought it would be sunny all the way.
We are hoping that Ian will be able to let us use his laptop so that we can post some of our photos but in the meantime we need to head back to the train station and catch our train to Lyon.
We miss you all but will soon be home. Wednesday will be here before we know it.
Love
Jean and Sheila
