France Wonderful France...

1. Marie Therese at Castellane in the Alpes Maritime… we’ve known Marie since 1977.
2. Laura, Marie T and Tibor
3. Marie’s home… it’s snowing so we head back to Cannes quickly but I do a 180 degree skid on fresh snow and ice on a corner of a hairpin bend… seriously scary.
4. Marie’s Hotel.
5. Villefranche-sur-Mer, Cote d’Azur.
6. Monaco Palace from underground Shopping Centre in Monte Carlo.
7. Look snow on the road as we head back north through Haute Provence.
8. Four bloody hours of snow, ice and camions just sitting in a traffic jam and chatting to Dutch Routiers while the male drivers in the jam very carefully walk through the ice to the side of the road to relieve themselves.
9. Hurray we’re moving but the trucks heading south are stuck now, that’s two lanes of them you can see.
10. Grapevines in the snow.
Toilet stop at last.
12. Pretty Snowy tree.
13. Compiegne where the Armistice of 11th of the 11th 1918 was signed.
14. Australian War Memorial at Villers Bretonneux
Graves and more graves.
16. THEIR NAME LIVETH FOREVERMORE
17. Ice on the fields at the Australian War Memorial.
