... seen and spoken to, to date.
Set off mid morning to drive through Gorges du Verdon, again another stunning drive. This time though the weather was kind to us and we were able to get out for a hike after lunch. It seemed like a popular drive as we encountered several other tourists, one couple were eating lunch at the same spot we were. They packed up their picnic, took a swig out of ...

... charmed him with our amazing french skills and naturally he fell in love with us...well ok maybes not, but he told us the history of the area and said we could even contact him if we ever needed help with french.

anyway so we went on to see amboise, which was medieval. Chambord, which was built as a hunting lodge. A HUNTING LODGE?!?!?!?? gah crazy castle people. its just about the most amazing and grand thing ive ever seen. the staircase on ...

Oddly, we haven't seen as many sports/exotics over here as you might think. There are a few Porches here and there. Big deal.. Some Ferraris but again not as many as I thought I would see. Oh and a couple of "greasers" in Lambos (Good God..! This could be a blog topic all on it's own, so I'll discuss in person over a glass of wine with the quiz winner)... So, what was the most spotted and ...

... with nearly 1700 miles on it, all senses were immediately over-indulged! The French are a unique bunch: they are beautiful, well done-up and looking good. The women wear stiletto heels to walk their pocket-size pups and the guys look chic and wear their sunglasses inside...let's just say they're also very, um,,,, Confident. Nevertheless, still fun to look at and we're up to a new challenge of learning another language.

To add to it all, there's a convention in ...

... Sailboats were docked at the marina (knez, it made me think of you). Diane ordered mussles and Jon and I had our first mussels ever. They were delicious. Thank you Diane for helping me discover my love for sea food. St-Tropez was further than we thought, but thank god we ...

... and I were on one together which was a bad idea to begin with. I nearly flipped it and I nearly made Alex come off. This is were the craziness starts. Alex, as he has no idea what he is doing or what he is going to do it makes it impossible for you to tell what he is going to do. He started doing donuts, played chicken with yachts and made me nearly poop my pants. Even when following the guide back ...

... in my case goodbye beautiful - ciao means hello and goodbye) tourist shirt written in the coke symbol. I was in cheap mode. Cooking spaghetti and talking to a swedish girl called i forgot to write it down so id remember it. We sat down at the only table with free space at the time and then something happened that will change my life forever. I met some Northen Irishmen. Chatting away they explained that they had been drinking since the morning. They were ...

DAY 7 - Nice, French Riviera Today was a free day to sightsee around Nice. Nice was nice . Our first real glimpse at the Mediterranean Coast - BEACHES, YAY!!! Even if they don't have sand  Firstly, we walked up to the top of La Chateau that overlooks the coast and town of Nice and took lots of wicked photos. Absolutely stunning views. Then we walked passed some beaches (public/private) with pebbles (which are actually rocks). To be honest, it's like ...

... a foccacia or gelato to eat etc. That night I had pesto gnocci (thenight before it was fettucine pesto, the area around grows a lot of basil - ie you have to have pestom not a problem with me!) and for dessert panna cotta (tiramisu the night before) (we have to try all the foods, hehe). It was nice to be on the coast again and see the ocean, don't like this landlocked business of the countries we've ...
