    french riviera

    July 17, 2018 in France ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    today was pretty kool, we woke up, drove to the beach in cannes, had breakfast, walked by all the super yachts with our jaws dropped. then a swim at the beach. then drove along the coast and stopped along the way where ever we wanted to admire and swim along the way. the drive was beautiful. it was blowing our minds the amount of yahts we were seeing, and how many people have that much money to afford these super yahts. it was crazy! some had ski boats underneath like in a garage under the yaht. and big slides, 3+ levels. jaws were definitely dropped most of the day and lots of wows. along with some incredible views of the coast, lots of pictures today. we drove the coast all the way to saint tropez and then headed straight to the airport in marseille. nearly running out of fuel. cleaned up our hire car, repacked (dunno how we got it all to fit, with adding camping gear). and now we are sitting in the airport waiting for our delayed flight. 11pmRead more

    cinque de terre, monaco, cannes

    July 16, 2018 in France ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    well today we started on our adventure to cinque de terre, what a windy and narrow road that was! we werent really sure what to do when the road ended, but we got out and started walking, and we were glad we did. 20 mins down the road was a little colorful village and tons of people there, it was super kool. cute, and awesome all in one. walked around, mick went for a swim, walked up to the top of the castle and had an awesome little calamari and chips lunch for our walk back to the car. back out the windy road and thru the National park for some amazing views. we reached monaco, and driving down into monaco was a bad idea. so much traffic, and fr whatever reason they had some roads closed, so it was a nightmare to get around. we ended up in monaco for over an hour, just drivng around in traffic trying to get out. finally made it out and headed to Nice. and wow its a hige city! way bigger than i wouldve thot. made it t Nice and had dinner (nothin special). Nice was nice. it looks like they have done a fair bit of improvements to the boardwalk cuz it all looks new. one of the better more organized coastal citties so far that we have seen. it was getting pretty late, so we headed to our accommodation in cannes.Read more

    2am wake up call today, headed to the airport for our 5am flight to santorini.
    arrive in santorini at 8am, hopped in a taxi and headed to kamari beach. cute little town. we couldnt check in to our accommodation, so we walked down the boardwalk and found something for breakfast, we were stoked to see a place making omelets... yes eggs!!! after breaky, walked a bit further down the board walk and then went for a swim. the black sand water really small pebbles, so it was really hard on pur feet getting into the water, but the water was lovely. super salty tho, made us super buoyant. as we were walking to our accommodation to check in we saw a cliff people were jumling off into the ocean so we bolted over there for a quick swim and jump of course :)
    we decded to hop on a bus to oia for the famous sunset, and to see the white buildings on he hill. it was worth it. the sunset was beautiful, and the houses on the hills, and the view was just incredible.
    the bus ride back was funny, at 10pm and we got bak into our town, the whole town was alive and there was people everywhere, where as during the day there was barely abyone around.
