Coaching the new arrivals


On Sunday we met up with Ben and Sarah who arrived from Italy by train. They need to recover from tourist numbers in most places they visited in Italy so up here might be just the trick. Whilst it is inevitable that we will be tourists in Nice, Cannes, St Tropez, Monaco and the glitz of this coast, we will try and soften that with visits to smaller places in the hinterland. Already we have tested the scene at Cannes where there is a late summer sailing regatta underway but perhaps the movie scouts are not about at the moment as we have received no offers for instant stardom. Our GPS is getting a thorough workout and we wind our way along the narrow roads and navigate through multiple roundabouts. So far we have made it home each day in one piece.
