While me and the wee boys stayed home that others went road
tripping before the car had to be back this afternoon. We had planned to go on a boat trip to the
Calanques this afternoon but the wind was up and it was not looking like it
would be a pleasant experience. We
decided to flag this and spend some time chilling and getting ready for our
trip to Paris tomorrow.
Road tripping - written by Karl
We drove round the waterfront on the famous 83 route (famous
because we had seen it on our new movie) and where there are the nice sandy
beaches of Marseille and some cool parks and green space. We will no doubt spend lots of time here over
the summer. We then headed over to
Cassis - a little fishing village which is now very popular! There are amazing
views from the road over the hill of the whole area - a must see. Cassis town was crazy busy and so Dean and
Emma were dropped off for a wee explore while me and Bub waited. We found a boulangerie for some food
which just happened to be by a wine store and so some purchases of Rose needed
to be made as the plan was to have a yummy cheese board tonight for dinner
enjoying our purchases from Les Baux.
It was then time to drop the car off and train home for some
down time this afternoon. THE END
Dean and Karl
relaxed a little and then headed out to “check the drains” or hit the bars!!!!!
