More Gypsies in France.
... expensive cheese, we soon hurried back to the van to devour the cheese we still had so that we could justify buying more. France dominates when it comes to cheese so the frommage adventure continues! Just around the coast we can see Monaco and ...
Nice, the Franch Riviera
On July 2nd we arrived in Nice, France at 8AM after a 10 hour train ride. We walked with our heavy packs to Hotel Les Alizes and arrived at 10AM. The room was like a mini sauna. At noon we visited the Marc Chagall Museum. There ...

A Nice Market
Bonjour, Not even a block from our hotel, early Sunday morning, vendors were busy setting up their stalls for the daily morning market. We could not resist to have a pick. So many Wows! It seems that all fruits and vegetables are coming from thier ...
Gettin' Wiggy with It
Last week we had our good friend, Magan Wiggs (or "Wiggy"), visit us from Seattle. Even before she arrived we were eagerly anticipating the liveliness that she would bring to our apartment, not to mention our La Grave social lives. After a ski trip to ...

genova nice
Up at 7 after not a beautifull night. One of the people in the room was loudly sick the whole night. Poor guy. Shower breakfast and took the boat to where the bike is praying that it will still be there and the luggage on it. My prayers were answered. ...
Monte Carlo
Up at 8 after a good night sleep. Breakfast and off to Monaco and monte carlo. This is pictures time but i'm treating from my phone. But in short boats. Cars women and casinos. My double espresso cost 7.6 euros. Ok th's in a posh hotel opposite THE ...
Nice
... again the streets are tight and this time I manage to clip the side of the motor bike, (I win the 'worst driver in France' competition) luckily for us no damage was done....Soren thought it was hilariously funny). We walk through Monaco, the casino ...
Gypsy festival with a black saint
Ascencion Day holiday in France is celebrated by Gypsies from all over Europe with a festival in this nearby seaside town (Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer). The village catered pretty well for the thousands of vans, caravans and campers but not all facilities ...
Thanks.. I mean, Grazie... I mean, Merci?
... would pass out for the next 5 hours. Our first stop was Montecarlo in the Principality of Monaco (right between Italy and France on the Ligurian coast). The city was very glaaaamorous.... only the extremely wealthy can afford to live there. I don't think ...
Last stop in France
This is a top pick! After brekkie it was onto Menton which is a lovely little town just before the Italian border. Menton is a much more down to earth place than its neighbours and more our scene. We found a park right on the beach and went for a wander and took ...
Still jolly cold in the South of France
... in Antilly, Beaune on account of the visual pleasure the gardener offered us. A long drive lay ahead to St Remy de Provence. Christiane had said that this was little town that she thought would suit us. She was right. A charming largish village but ...
Amusing Differences
Here are some interesting things about France that simultaneously drive me crazy and make me laugh: *Decimals and commas--they mean the opposite of each other here, so at the fromagerie that piece of cheese costs 2,50. *The way they count on their ...
Bord de la Mer
... . Another beautiful day and with the BeeGees and the Beatles blaring from our CD player, life felt good!! First headed towards Aix-en -Provence with the intention of making a stop, but the view from the distance of a smoky, high rise town rather put us ...
A day at the beach
A relaxing and enjoyable day. Having spent the last few days on the road it was great to stay in one place and enjoy doing a lot of nothing. We met with Brent and Marg at about 10am and set out to walk around the beach front to the town of ...
Goodbye Greece (oh yeah, and Milan)

Everyone was really tired today so we slept in and took it easy in the morning. Hike #2 out to the second calanque The mall in Aubagne for David to get a haircut, grocery shopping at Auchan, and dinner at Pizza Pia. ...
Midst of the Mediterrenean
Our first day at sea. Nothing but water surrounding us: well, except for a few whales resting in the surface. It finally felt like a holiday. No moving around. No carrying big backpacks. No cooking. It was all relaxation. All but the two hours we spend ...
I'm a winner!
... had buffalo mozzarella. Oh my, it was delicious. And well worth the 12 euro price tag. Did I mention the cost for everything in France is higher? Alright, movie time. Ciao! Au revoire! See ya later! DAH! One more funny quick story. I went to mass this ...
Of French villages and cheese
This is a top pick! ... alone, smashing her knee on the rocks (no injury, only a small loss of dignity), we headed toward Les Baux-de-Provence, a hilltop village and chateau, the former home to the Grimaldi family who became the princes of Monaco. As we bypassed Tarascon, Nancy ...
Nice was Nice
We started the day by getting lost on the way to the hostel, what else is new. But really it wasn't our fault, the sign for the place was hidden and it was kinda a weird area in the city. A nice man asked if we were lost and told us to go to the pink ...
St. Tropez
We made it to St. Tropez yesterday, down from Avignon. The drive was really nice and the closer you get to the water the more everything looks like Southern California. We pulled into the swanky town of St. Tropez only to find the entire city was a ...

Pisa & Florence
Long day on bus, but pretty. Mountains on left & Mediterrain onright & houses snuggled into the hills. Lots of greenhouses,vineyards, & olive trees. Sawleaning Tower of Pisa!!! Pretty wild! Also cathederal.. Cathy is having trouble sending ...
holiday season in Cannes
The chocolate advent calendar on my desk tells me that there's eleven days left till I say goodbye to Cannes. I started it early, so window number 24 falls on the-day-I-leave eve rather than Christmas eve. My advent calendar and the Christmas music ...
Visit to Moulin a Huile d'Opio
... Oh well, breakfast was so good. Today we're on our way to Opio for the olive oil factory visit before heading to Aix-En-Provence. The 7th generation of the same family runs the "Moulin à Huile d'Opio". After a short video showing us about the harvest of ...
la belle France
5 days in France was a nice break! The hostel I stayed at was fantastic, it's actually rated one of the top 10 in the world. Very friendly and helpful staff, nice garden area, lounge, cheap drinks and a huge kitchen. It was great to be able to cook ...
Nice is nice
