Wow! I sure could get up to this view every morning! Our bed and breakfast has a beautiful yard! Rémi and I went for a run along the Littoral this morning. We walked about 2km to the start and off we went running. The Littoral is a nice trail that follows the Mediterranean Sea. It varies from sand, rocks, roads, and pathways. Sometimes there are stairs or what looks like tons of coconut husks. You pass beaches and rocky shores seeing huge yachts along the way. On our way back, we stopped at a beach and went in for a quick dip.
We made it back to the bed and breakfast and jumped in the pool. Who wouldn’t love to live this life?!?
It’s already time to leave St. Tropez. We’ve done what we came to do! We decided to drive along the coastal highway instead of the regular highway. Lots of quaint little towns with a gazillion roundabouts. My gosh the French love roundabouts! It’s a little ridiculous...
We came upon a beautiful beach where we spent some time swimming. THIS is what I expected... white sandy beach, water so clear you can see the bottom even when you are in deep water. Water that looks turquoise. Warm water that you don’t feel like your toes will fall off. In other words, paradise! We swam for a while, dried ourselves in the sun (sun protection of course). Afterwards, we had lunch. We had sole- interesting experience 😂. The waitress had to help take the bones out... learned something new!
After lunch, we stayed on the coastal road for a while but got tired of the roundabouts and the 50/70 speed limit. We moved on to the highway. Got lost- what else is new? Google maps- you suck. Went through some sort of tunnel for what seemed like a long time- had to come back through same tunnel- costing us 4€ twice for nothing. Thanks Google. Finally arrived at our hotel. Tomorrow, no alarm clock. We will get up when we get up. We are planning a short hike to see the “Calanques”. Some hiking, some swimming. I would also like to see the Basilique Notre Dame de Gardes. We will see.
Marseille doesn’t sound like a very safe place. I've been warned by three different people at different times that it’s dangerous here. One person asked if I had a bulletproof vest. The other told me not to look like a tourist! If they hear us speak, they will surely know we don’t belong! We shall be careful and do our best not to look like tourists! 😂
