Rather than having 2 weeks of non stop relaxation and swimming at Menton, we (or is that 'I' ..??) like to squeeze in some adventure and exercise. 2 years ago we stayed a night at the Valmasque Refuge and got totally soaked in a massive thunderstorm on the way up...so this time we thought we'd extend the trip to a 3 day circuit (but with decent waterproof clothing), and including a days high level walk through the famous Vallee des Merveilles between the Refuges of Merveilles and Valmasque.

Well, it didn't rain, we had a load of laughs, saw some wonderful things, toned our legs, got some great memories, had some awful nights sleep, and then we went back to the Med for some more swimming and relaxation (Menton photos below).

We had a lovely fortnight in Menton at Paddy's flat.

This shows morning light on the old town...there was a layer of darkish cloud behind the town which was lit along with the town by the first sun of the morning - about 7am.

We also had 3 days in the mountains - pics to follow when I get chance to load them up...
