Default Honey - I'm Home (after a great trip to Monaco)! - More Pics

Hi chaps - did you miss me (did you even realise that I was gone)

A fantastic weekend in Monaco and a few pictures to show you (I won't upload all 300 plus the AVI's) that will hopefully give you all a flavour:

(A nice bit of totty on the yacht next to ours):






(she was enjoying all the attention she was getting from the crowd and all the men on our yacht....)

The scene from just outside the hotel I stayed in:







A few shots on the way to the speed boat which took us to the yacht:




The hotel where the shuttle boat was moored, all the Lotus drivers and mechanics were housed - very nice it was too:




A few on the way to the yacht:










Will put a few more up after as I will have to do a bit of work now

Cheers for looking

Cheers everyone

The first day on board was fantastic. As soon as you boarded the yacht a glass of champers was thrust into your sweaty mit, of which I continued to sup until we left the yacht for the evening meal at around 8PM...... I was very merry I can tell you

The food was fantastic and it was one of those do's when as soon as your glass looked to be remotely emptied, it was filled up again

A few more pictures to keep ya goin':











We were about 30 foot from the track - nice and loud :mrgreen:

Cheers and more to come

A few more pics from Sunday - the main day

A view from the side of the yacht - a nice 100 ft screen so we could keep an eye on the rest of the race:




A view from the top deck toward the front of the yacht - the young lady was from Russia and very cute:


Bottom deck - housed 4 double bedrooms - each with its own shower room. The pic below is the end bedroom at the bow:


A view from the bow back to the stern (so nautical...):


One of the shower rooms in the 'smaller' bedrooms located on the side:


A few nice ladies a far:


A rear shot of the yacht:


Cheers.

A few more pics (are you bored yet!!):









The drivers parade:







Prince Albert:


He did get driven by but I didn't get a picture - so sorry.....





Me with a glass of champers:




The rest of the pictures are along the same lines - I didget to take a quite a few vids of the cars racing etc, but not sure if you want to see that as the picture would be 1000 times better on the Beeb :mrgreen:


Had a great time and got to briefly meet Alonso and Massa, the 2 Ferrari drivers and they signed a Ferrari hat which is cool, but didn't manage to get any pictures of that

Cheers

No need to be jealous - I had a great weekend and will probably never get to do it again on that scale.

Just makes me want to be a multi millionaire even more now (never happen )

I am just trying to share the fun with you guys
