A bit of Rome in the south of France
16. juli 2017, Frankrike ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
At breakfast by 7.30 and on the road by 8am... good going!!
Our first stop was the beautiful town of Nimes where we had coffee beside the old Roman arena & then wondered the cobbled streets. Unfortunately being Sunday the shops were shut but it is a lovely place. We explored the produce market & the gorgeous Roman gardens.
Next was an afternoon of relaxation beside the Pont du Gard & swimming in the refreshing river... over 35 today.
Arrived 6.30pm in Avignon....off to explore soon.Les mer

The caravan was again exciting & video & we got some booty!!

Avignon & a visit to Emma
18. juli 2017, Frankrike ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
After our lovely swim we went to Avignon... home to the Papacy for a while.
The old walled city is gorgeous & absolutely buzzing with a sort of Art Festival.
We had the most Devine meat & cheese platters.
Next morning we had a couple of hours shopping which was real fun... a few bargains!!
Then we drove to Emma's place in Eguille.... delightful place & just the loveliest visit. Penny's mum Pauline was also there & after tea we took the dog for a work through the delightful old village.Les mer

Up pretty early to get Dixie & Terry to Marseille airport for their flight to NYC.

Motorway driving to Grasse & a wonderful tour of a perfume factory. A lovely little town & an amazing late lunch...cheese & meat platter.

Woke up in Antibes & delivered the car to Nice Airport. Found there was a bus to Monaco so grabbed that.... a pretty good trip. The area is quite hilly & so we went through lots of tunnels.
Nowhere to store our bags due to the terrorist threat so had to drag them along!!
We took turns going to the Casino. It was amazing.....really really ornate....gold, paintings, chandeliers. The tables looked ok but the pokie machines looked out of place. GaMing starts at 2 so you can visit in the morning .... it was way more than I thought it would be.
Over 30 so pretty hot!!
We tried a Shopping mall but not really in our price range.
Wee wait and then train to Italy to meet the others in Riomaggiore.Les mer

There are a few more stories to tell!!
Cinque Terre is comprised of 5 small villages, linked by the train, boat & walking tracks.
Riomaggiore is a little ramshackle village climbing up the hillside from the sea in a range of red, orange, yellow & brown hues with colourful shutters...I don't really think the photos do it justice.
We took a rocky rolly boat trip up to Monterosso & spent a couple of hours on the beach...not the greatest beach but a beautiful location. Spot of lunch up the hill overlooking the village & a cocktail before taking the train home!!
Shower time & then out for dinner & a toast!!Les mer

Had read about a market in Le Spezia so headed there.....it was frantic & fun....lots of clothes, linen, kitchen... all pretty much the same good fun.
We spent the afternoon on the beach in Monterosso... even paid for a deck chair. Lovel big waves & warm sea.
Back in Riomaggiore we then went for another swim....only downside was the jellyfish sting I got...the local pharmacist was great & the cream sorted it quite quickly.
A cocktail & seafood platter & bed!!Les mer

Lucca
22. juli 2017, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
We got organised early to get the train south...Nicky & girls straight to Pisa and us to Lucca.
Unfortunately our train was late so we had an enforced stop in Viareggio...we went for a walk, had a strong coffee and something to eat & saw another market.
Lucca is a delight....4km around outside walls & a quaint inner centre, with one really special oval area surrounded by buildings. Lunch & sightseeing & train to Pisa...still to seeLes mer

We made it to Pusa around 4.30 & found our hotel & watched the last couple of riders in the Tour time trial...great viewing.
We met the others for a quick snack & then wandered up to the Tower...great viewing in the early evening.
We then met up again for a cocktail....took so bloody long to get them but they were good!!

Up way too early to get to the ferry...ready by 5am!!
Lovely ferry ride....sat in deck chairs & watched world go by.
Bastia is BIG!! Not quite what I expected.
Found our hotel & then went out to explore the old Citedelle area...very picturesque set high above the bright blue sea.Les mer
