Perks.
One of the brilliant things about my new job is that I get to do a bit of travelling. On Monday my services were required in our Monte Carlo office, so Stu and decided to make a weekend of it and try to soak up some of that South-of-France sun.
I have to say, while it was lovely to get away, Monte Carlo is truly a weird place. Almost all of the women wore enormous fur coats and invariably carried very small dogs (some in their designer handbags). We stuck out a mile in our t-shirts and jeans - people couldn't understand how we weren't cold until they figured out we were English! There also seemed to be a distinct lack of good taste about the place - browsing in the shop windows offered endless horrors in home decoration. In summary, TOO MUCH MONEY!
Here's the view from our hotel window:
And a couple of pics of us down by the hotel's private beach...mmmmm!
