Stade Vélodrome

The next day it was time to head to Marseille and watch the Mighty Bokke play against Tonga! The spectacle didn't disappoint! South African fans were everywhere and we got to meet up with Dev/Jordie/Kev McMahon; Rob Frames and his gf Katie; Luke/Cat; and Russy (a friend from London). It was a lekker game and a lekker jol! The night ended quite blurrily with the staple Turkish Doner Kebab at about 2am. The next day our Airbnb looked like an ICU ward. Well at least for myself and Al. Stricken with nausea and a pulsating headache, it was difficult to put my finger on the exact cause for this malady. I'd adequately hydrated myself the previous day with 10 pints of beer and eaten food throughout the day.🤔 Must've been the Doner Kebab then. Anyways, after what was the most expensive orange juice we've all ever had (€6 per a glass!😳), we headed back along the French Riviera to take Al and Caity back to Nice airport. It was on this drive that Emz became quite nauseous. Car sickness or maybe she'd caught the same contagion as me?🤔 Who knows.🤷🏻‍♂️. After having our last swim in the sea - probably for the year- it was with heavy hearts that we dropped Al and Caity off at the airport. It was a lovely 3 days spent with them and something we've missed on our trip is spending time with our friends.Read more
