Monte Carlo

 

The Story

In May of 2000 I was honoured to be asked to chair a conference called "The E-Telco Summit" in Monte Carlo. It was a fantastic location, and because I was chairing it they put Josie and I up in an enormous suite, overhanging the Med. Monte Carlo is one of those places where reality has been temporarily suspended, particularly the weekend we were there as the whole town was stripped & ready for the Monte Carlo Grand Prix! We had a lovely time relaxing in the suite and around the town - Josie caught up on her tan & shopping whilst I worked at the conference.

The sign says it all! My wife doing her supermodel impression whilst talking to her mum Breakfast on the terrace - good soul repair The Foster's Girl stands under the Foster's Banner, at the top of the big hill after Pit Lane
It's two weeks to the GP, and already the harbour is filling with huge yachts. The big blue things are the grandstand Beautiful! Look closely, and you can see the owner's leg, as he casually relaxes in a more modest craft! Looking over Monte Carlo from our rear balcony
The famous Grand Hotel corner, a real hairpin that the F1 cars take at speed, coming down the hill Looking back up towards Monte Carlo - you can see how it clings to the cliffs Monte Carlo by night My desk and work area inside, and our play area outside
Josie checks out the scenery The beautiful blue waters of the Med lap at the beaches Sunset over the beach Looking through a gap in the buildings to Monte Carlo Beach (which actually has coarse sand on it, rather than the usual Med rocks)
Our bedroom....

 

 ....and our lounge room!
