Sooo after a very dramatic rush to figure out how on earth I would get to Heathrow airport this morning by 7am (No direct lines on the tube on the one weekend I desperately need one) I made it on time safe and well and flew the not very long 1 and a half hours to Nice... It is soooooooo beautiful here, such a different energy to London, little cobble stone roads with high, old buildings, smell of fresh bread, beautiful sounds of french all around, warm sun, cool breeze and of course the beautiful sight of all the luxury yaughts in the docks. My dad works in Antibes so we went to see all the super yaughts, that is a whole different world of the super wealthy... another story all together! There was also a street carnival, people on huge marquees throwing flowers all over the street, people dancing around on stilts, jazz bands and loads of silly string!
Tomorrow we will be exploring Cannes and the following day we willl go to Monaco.
Shew, for a girl who had never stepped off African soil I am doing pretty well!

The Americas Cup is the most expensive sporting event there is. Even more expensive than Forumla One car racing. It's pretty much the sporting event above all others that the richest people in the world follow. And it's a sail boat race. Anyone who's anyone in the yachting world is there with their biggest most expensive yachts.
Just watch it on TV and look at the spectator boats. They're some of the biggest most expensive most luxurious yachts ever produced. I was watching day before yesterday and saw one yacht that I saw anchored off of Two Harbors Catalina (an island about 20 miles off the coast from Los Angeles) and bloody hell was that an amazing vessel.
The helicopter that was on the back of the vessel was about a half million dollar hellicopter. And that was just what he used to fly ashore to pick up milk n stuff. The paintjob alone that was on there cost a few orders of maginitude more money than I'll make my entire life. It's justa beautiful vessel. I wanted it. Even though just to start the engines costs more than I'll make this entire year. I'd still take it.
