Antibes

We have booked two nights at the beautiful Port Vauban in Antibes. It is full of super yachts with their uniformed crews busily shining acres of chrome. The marina office is a fancy circular glass building flanked by big boats at the end of the pier and yet there are no airs and graces here. The marina welcomes small boats like us too; the staff are helpful, there are showers and laundry facilities and the price is surprisingly reasonable at 55 euros a night.
Antibes is a gorgeous town and the marina is its heart. The old town is just across the road and there is a lovely little beach nearby. Both beach and town are accessed through the old fortified walls. Ruby and Colm get their scooter and Rollerblades out as soon as they spot the big open square in front of the walls.
The next three days are set to be overcast and rainy and then the Mistral wind is due to blow for nearly a week.
We would be mad to leave such a perfect place so we call to the office and book in for the next two weeks.Okumaya devam et
