Monaco

Monaco

triplets   Monaco wasn't at all how I expected it to be. At first I was a bit disappointed but then I got used to it. What I hated the most were all these "poufs" walking around and showing off with their jewels and Dior bags, etc. Yes. I'm jealous! I admit it! I'd like to be wealthier... But it's not the case so I can only criticize them. I so wanted to enter in the fine hotel and the Casino and ride in one of the huge boats there.. I was so envious. I don't want to do that all the time, I just wanted to do it there. Now I'm okay! lol
   Seriously, it's crazy how much money people can spend on fiddling things, come on, you don't really need a bag that cost you €2500, do you? It's my pay check for 7 months! Of course when you really really REALLY like love something, you can be crazy for once, but not all the time.
   Why do rich people always buy things that are so expensive? You'd say "because they can afford it!" Yes but you find nice things at reasonnable prices too. I guess it's something that I would never understand unless I get super rich lol
   Anyway, Monaco was nice, we had a pleasant dinner in the Vieux Monaco followed by spectacular fireworks. We even took an elevator to go on the street where the car was parked! That was something curious indeed! ;)

Marseille

   Aaah the Canebière, the Vieux Port, the Cathédrale de la Major, the fly boat.. Ohla! I get lost! hihi it sounds like an American movie in which they took Americans to play French people! Bof!
   Anyway, Peter and I had a spendid time there, it's so nice and the colors so cheerful and sunny!

Back to the lake

Le Valthe nap of the cat under the tree   We decide to make the most of our time and go back to the lake at least 3 more times :) So we decided that this time we'd go earlier and picnic there. But we forgot to buy some bread! So we went to 2 different villages but unfo between 12 and 3pm, the shops are all closed! Everybody's taking a nap in the South after lunch even the cat ←
   Even the post office in Vins sur Camary isn't a real one! lol
   However in the evening, it's more lively: we even found a cute and friendly restaurant called "Le Val Bohème" where we ate well for a reasonnable price. I really recommend it to anyone who goes by Le Val, Var (in Provence and close to the Côte d'Azur). They made scrumptious shrimps with Pastis (even I liked them though I dislike Pastis ;) ). Don't hesitate if you go by! :)

Aix en Provence

Aix en Provence: la Rotonde
A very delightful day where we drove quite a lot to find a parking place ;)
We walked a good deal through some very nice plazas filled with tourists and agreeable terraces.
The town center is fairly small which I found a bit weird because I thought the city was way bigger nevertheless it pleased me more that way. Especially a few shops where I could spend too much money! lol

Finding THE lake

lake Vins sur Camary

I couldn't believe it when I saw it from the road after our rally in the woods and lanes.
How could it be possible that such a beautiful lake was there in the middle of nowhere? Perhaps because it was self-made, that the rain came and filled this former landmine with pure water colored a blue you can only find at the sea and on postcards!
I was so amazed by the beauty of the lake that I asked Peter to stop to take pictures and when we found out we could also go swimming there, we were both very excited!! :)
There were not too many people because we arrived late but we enjoyed the fresh water til it began to get dark. That was terrific :)

Toulon

voilier

We spent almost the whole day there, it was hot and at a time I didn't feel very well because it was so hot and we had no water. We saw the sailing boats that came from Antwerpen, they were huge and some extremely beautiful!
Like this one Peter called it "the boat of Jack Sparrow" hihi :)
We also went to a pub that was kool and the waitress kind. We had to go to the mall because I forgot to buy the compulsory book at France Loisirs, so I saw the 7th books of Harry Potter and I read the last line of the book hihi ;)
Here we spent some time to look at the sunset and it was the perfect time to take this pic :)
