Day 30
Saint Rafael
May 3 in France ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
We sailed up to Saint Rafael after our dinghy visit to Saint Tropez yesterday. It's actually much prettier than Tropez as the town is on a huge, lovely beach with a promenade, and the French requisite: a ferris wheel and carousel. There are 3 marinas and after stopping in one, had to move to another. Disappointing as the showers were cold and the electrical connection didn’t work! But we needed to stay as we had to train back to Marseille and didn’t want to leave the boat at anchor all day. But that’s another story...Read more
Traveler The French have certainly not welcomed you with open arms!

Traveler An aberration, I think. People have mostly been lovely although they can exhibit an attitude of self-importance, be demanding and unhelpful.

Day 25

We headed into the actual town of Saint Raphael which unfortunately takes walking down our steep hill and then walking a mile to get the the train station and then only a quick 7 minute ride, haha when the Airbnb said you should have a car they might have been right. But it’s a nice walk along the beach and after getting groceries and macaroons we got to have the best relaxing dinner and drinks while watching the sunset from our little home for the week! Mike and Anna crushed that Mac and cheese!Read more

Our car has reliably brought us from Munich to Fréjus.

Therefore, it has truly earned some care.

Getting ready for Lucas!

Day 22
St-Raphael
September 19, 2018 in France ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
So I started the day with the intention of going to Cannes. (Where the famous music festival takes place). Once there I didn't really love the place. It's full of luxury boutiques: Gucci, Prada, etc. and the beach is not that fantastic. So I hopped back on the train to head to St-Raphael. Oh yes. I need to mention that the train broke down again. And we needed to wait an hour for it to be repaired. Why are these trains always breaking when I take them?

Anywho, this village is super adorable and the hotel I got is gorgeous. Since I am staying with a friend's mom for a few days over the weekend I can splurge on nice hotels for the next 3 nights right! Sylviane put me in contact with her friends mom who lives near Marseille (Aix de provence) so she offered me a room for the weekend since I will be in the area. Yay! :-)

Again today was the beach (I am getting so brown) and visiting the town. This place is where the richs come. The yatchs here are unreal...

P.s. Since I have been seeing at least 1 Pomeranian per day since I've been here I started taking pictures of the daily Pom to send to my mom. Thought ide share this one as it looks like Misty.

14 days until I see you misty ❤Read more
