Les Terrasses D Isola & Spa

Leave from nice on the Chemins de fer de Province (diesel train) to Touet-sur-Var. And then the steam train to Entrevaux, city with amazing views. On the way back a quick stop in Puget-Théniers.

My camera battery died once we hit Entrevaux so no photos :(

... European vacation could not end without a little excitement caused by some of the local
wildlife. The saga has become known as the “Mulot” days. We were enjoying dinner on the patio of our beautiful villa in our clean, lovely neighbourhood on yet another beautiful Riveria night. We happened to glance into the house and saw a “mulot” sitting on the kitchen floor. We have come to know that a “mulot” is a ...

... leave smiling. We’ve also had a nice time visiting the sand beach in Cannes. We must say that we are surprised that the boys haven’t been at all rattled by the topless women at the beaches here. We have noticed them causally looking but were relieved there was no pointing and yelling! We did have a laugh when we were walking back to the car one day and Caleb told us “there was 15 ladies with no shirt on at ...

... beetje vaart achter. De zon komt tevoorschijn en met de sneeuw, zou dat wel eens kunnen zorgen voor heel wat extra water bij het afdalen.
Op het einde blijkt dat we de canyon in iets meer als 2 uurtjes afgehaspeld hebben, terwijl er 3,5 uur in de topo beschreven staat. Goed gewerkt dus!

Deze canyon was toch wel echt de moeite en zal zeker niet snel vergeten worden!

Gisteren hebben we met Gertjan (sympathieke Nederlander die CTV ook ontdekt heeft) en Kim afgesproken samen de Peïra te gaan verkennen.

De Peïra is een uitdagende canyon met een aantal lange rappels waarbij we nog eens wat technieken kunnen herhalen die normaal gezien niet echt gebruikt worden.

We vertrekken als eerste groepje en achter ons zal er nog een tweede groepje komen. Een toch wel lange wandeling brengt ...

Vandaag doen we de canyon met Harald en 2 dames waarvan ik me de naam eigenlijk niet meer kan herinneren... Sorry, maar 't waren wel plezante meiden!

Kan niet zo heel veel over deze canyon vertellen. Heb hem zelf vorig jaar ook al eens gedaan samen met PhiL, Leen en Tine. Het blijft echter wel een mooie canyon om te doen!

Helemaal op het einde ligt er zelfs een autowrak in de canyon, ik ...

... zullen elke dag onze canyon kunnen doen, maar anderen hebben minder geluk en zullen in de loop van de week één of zelfs 2 keer geen canyon kunnen doen vanwege te slechte weersomstandigheden.

Fijne canyon, maar niet echt een uitschieter, want heel veel kan ik me niet herinneren van deze canyon...

... with only a two foot wall to hold us back. It was a good thing that all of the cars in France are tiny or we wouldn't have been able to pass them on the narrow roads. When we finally got to our hotel we were happily surprised to find that we had a good size, apartment style rooms with a bunk bed, a two person sofa pull-out, a large bed and a kitchen. My roommate Lina and I shared the big bed which was very comfortable. Food was included in the trip price so we got a bag and ...

... Here they served a set menu each night of 5 courses, starting with literally a huge basket of garden vegies and a full chain of sausages! During the day we visited the local perfume factory Fragonard and also drove into Cannes. Cannes was cool, with lots of shops and restaurants including the one which served really really giant platters of seafood al la naturale - yum. (see the picture) We also visited Antibes, which was very yachty and arty. Our next stay was 3 ...

... It took a long time to get up there, especially since I was starting to feel tired, but it was worth it. When I finally made it to the top of the fortification, I arrived in this small square that had the castle. In front of it were guards and some Christmas trees. Surrounding the castle were several buildings, all souvenir shops now. With the way the castle looked and the square, I felt like I was in an illustration from the old fairy tale books I ...
