Summertime in Menton - the Boat Trip - 4


We've arrived in the bay - and as you see, we dropped anchor and are tied up alongside our friends. Carlo and Susan own a super restaurant in Monaco called Pulchinella - great atmosphere, great welcome, fabulous Italian food.

Not sure whose feet those are... maybe they are yours - now don't get burnt, the sun is hot. Slather on that suncream.

We've sipped champagne on our boat. Lunch was in our respective boats. A rather good fruit tart was passed back and forth. Now it's time to take a little sun and then a swim - and then another swim...

Tomorrow, we look around and see what's happening in the other boats - all part of the fun to people-watch with a zoom lens.

  12. What a fantastic day out!

    Jilly, regarding my post today, the words "steak à cheval" dont' mean horse steak (that would be steak DE cheval) but steak with mirror egg on top. I suppose the egg is riding the steak as if on horseback, hence the name ???

  14. Wake me when I'm done on one side, please, because I'll doze off after the champagne! Look at that beautiful water. My goodness, what a blessing this boat trip is, for all of us, thanks to your photos.
