This was a week-end away which Nick won on our local radio station Heart FM. It included all flights, two nights accommodation at the Hotel Mirabeau, helicopter transfer to Monte Carlo, chauffeur driven back to airport and spending money! Not bad eh! We had an absolutely superb time, unfortunately it was only for 2 so we couldn't take Josh with us.
The place was spotless, no litter anywhere, everything beautifully maintained but what do you expect where the mega-rich live! The weather was also great for the time of year (Oct 2005).
Hope you enjoy!
