I'm making the most of the last rays of summer sun here on the Cote d'Azur in the south of France.
The place I'm staying at is full of disenchanted Australians and Kiwis, who until last week had planned to follow their respective teams right to the final in Paris. Having their travel plans unexpectedly cut short, many seem to have decided to recouperate their losses here in Nice. We spent the day today relaxing on the beach in preparation for the excitment of tonight's game. England v France, sure to be a big one!
The French are crazy at the best of times, let alone when there's a world cup match on, let alone a world cup match against England. They seem to hate the English almost as much as they hate Americans. Aussies and Kiwis are relatively safe, but the France v New Zealand match did bring out some pretty scary All Black impersonations.
Don't get me wrong. It's not all hate. If there is one person the French love, it's this handsome bloke...
...and really, who could blame them? Very metrosexual.
Let's face it, no one wants to see England anywhere near the final, and I would really like to make it through the night because I'm looking forward to going to Italy next week. So it's ALLER LES BLEU all the way!

What happened to the Annika who left Australia such a short time ago? She appears to have been abducted by a super-model jet-setter interested only in indulgence and pleasure. I though a "Cote d'Azure" was a coat-hanger with a knitted, blue cover on it. Apparently not.
Hope you survived France's loss. England might win the bloody cup again. Nice pics but, as Damian might say, "that boy looks like trouble..."
Annika, do you think you could attract le Animale as your boyfriend? how much fun would he be in the afternoon water rugby game in the pool at Lismore. That shot of him is the best one of him I have seen yet as I suspect in real life he is much scarier looking. Your trip sounds great!
Uncle Dame I expect Annika can attract alot better than a man named after a muppets character for a boyfriend...
