Maeva - Résidence Les Marines De Gassin

First full day in St Tropez, well what can I say, we are all so tired from the sightseeing we did in the past few weeks that we are taking the day off, around the pool, the beach, and generally having a big chill day.we had a lovely dinner on the port side . when the bill came the waiter asked how come I could speak French so well, when I told him I WAS French he simply answered "that must help" , Margaret is still laughing about it. Back at the flat we are using the big guns, candles, coils ...

Today we have decided to go on a little boat trip, catching the ferry from the port of Cogolin where we are staying to St Tropez. It's an all out boat trip of about 10 minutes (same by car but we don’t have to find a car spot).

As we arrive on the beach we took ourselves to the rental place and before you can say I want to buy a gun and shoot myself Marg and the kids are on jet skis riding into the sunset.... maybe cliché but it works. I went to rent a co...

This was my kind of holiday jet skiing, water skiing, wake boarding and donuting. The first day consisted of some pool action and me falling of a rock and hitting my shin on a rock. The second day consisted of me stubbing my toe so that there was a flat spot in it and some more swimming. The third day we went and caught the fairy to the ritzy part of town were we didn’t actually go to the beach because it involved pebbles and a rusty wire shark net about ten meters from the shore. As we...
