Another great day out on the boats and swimming in the Med

Today we had a great day - we caught the 10am ferry boat from Vieux Port to Point Rouge (about a 40 minute ride) and had a quick swim at the beach.

 The beach was already packed! We then caught the Point Rouge ferry around to Les Gordes to have a wee explore, some lunch and swim.

The boat docked at Les Gordes

Our captain on this leg of the journey was the captain from our calanque trip on the Blue Evasion - so that was very cool.  He directed us to some great swimming spots and the restaurant we had seen on this trip.  Perfect.

The walk to the swimming holes was spectacular - I love walking around the calanques and finding amazing swimming spots 

Then walking around to find more amazement ........................ a great little restaurant and a cute little beach area - unfortunately the restaurant was a bit more pricey than we were wanting to spend and so we flagged food and just swum.....................

And then headed back to the boat to go back to Point Rouge and our trusty cheap kabab eatery right on the beach - pic below is of a butterfly that decided it liked the look of my hat and stayed there for ages............well at least until the boat moved! 

On the boats the boys always like to sit up the front and are even more keen when we are told that you could get wet sitting here today! 

Another great day out and about around Marseille - the weather remains consistent, between 32 and 36 degrees each day.  Karl has enjoyed a few cooler days in Finland but tonight heads back to the heat, picking up his lost bag in Helsinki on his way back through! 

Tomorrow, we head to Italy for 10 nights and I cannot wait!!!!!!
