we went last year and it was good, but it will be better this year as i will know my way around, etc.
my boyfriend is half italian - his dad's italian, but has live in england for 30 years....so we're staying with his dad's mum (who's italian, but lives in france and prefers to speak french). his uncle lives in dublin with his irish wife, but they have an apartment in monte carlo and spend alot of time there too.
...it gets confusing!!! lol
