Pizza, Beer and Bananas


Today is Ventimiglia Friday Market - nearly a mile of stalls selling everything from cheap hats


- to fur coats starting at over £400. Loads of hooky gear and the French police mount a border patrol on market day to stop people coming back, not with cheap gin but with fake Louis Vuitton handbags.

What is very odd is that almost everything, from clothing, belts, jewellery down to pots and pans are stored in banana boxes. I cannot work out why unless the banana box is perfect for stacking in a panel van.

Then to lunch on the plage and a needed beer after all that retail therapy.

Suellen didn't enjoy her pizza !


And the view to the snow covered hills was great.


Tomorrow 500 miles to Langres.
