From Italy we caught the train to Nice

Listening to music makes the journey seem quicker

We took a day trip to Monaco to watch the Formula 1 Grand Prix all kitted out to support Jenson Button

Monaco

British American Racing have a stand, sponsored by British American Tobacco

Every possible view point was packed

These guys look settled for the day

A refreshments break

No guess who we were rooting for

The drivers paraded around the track before the race

Jenson Button

The noise is deafening

Renault supporters

Prince Albert did his round

Jenson Button

Heidi trying every angle for the perfect photo

Two cars that crashed out of the race

The frustration of no cell phone signal

Alonso's lap of honour after winning

The more scenic part of the track

British American Racing's boat

The lorries used to transport the cars

After the race

The inside of the Ferrari lorry

View of the track

Once we had climbed to the top of the hill overlooking Monaco we came across the sign

Changing of the guards at the Pink Palace

A quick nap while no-one's watching

Renault boss Flavio Briatore

Trying to catdh a glimpse of the drivers after the press conference

Life is good in Monaco

Angela showing off her sunburn

We arrived in Avignon at our hotel with a nice room

A tea garden

And a communal pillow

There were some kitties at our hotel that kept us amused
