Old Boys' Toys


On the weekend, Menton went to town with a nautical festival - high-speed racing boats and a great atmosphere. On the Sablettes beach, enthusiasts of remote-controlled model boats put on a fabulous display. Some of the model boats are worth between 800 and 1500 euros. Interestingly nearly all the participants were somewhat older men.

  7. Love the last photo the most. If I hadn't seen the earlier ones or read your post, I would have been wondering about the little orange guy. Greetings from Mindless Mumbai.

  8. I'm LOL at Peter's comment. Well what more can I say. The "somewhat older" crowd needs to have some fun as well! :)
