Oh how wonderful to have 2 weeks of luxury in France! After our quite basic last 2 months in rural areas of Spain it was a pleasure to drive over the border and enter the world of good food, good wine and cosy villages (and no kidding every second car on the highway towards Cannes was dutch! Meivakantie...). We spent a great week in St Cezaire (in the hills above Cannes) with Carol, Cliff, George, Andy, Helen, Harry and Archie in a beautiful villa. The weather wasn’t so good unfortunately so we really got into table tennis (want one :-)) and had lots of fun running around the table with the ‘Killer’ version. Nice bbqs, a bathroom en suite, croissants in the morning and lots of fun!
Weirdest thing of all: on Friday we went on a little wine tasting trip to Chateauneuf du pape and Baumes de Venise and on a roundabout just outside Avignon we suddenly saw Jeroen en Jikke in the car next to us! They heard some people yelling but didn’t think it was for them! We met on Saturday in St Remy de Provence for lunch in the sun before they drove further to Spain, what a coincidence!
Now we’re back in the van and staying in Buis les Baronnies, a bit north of the Mont Ventoux. We can see it very well from here but still need to gather our courage and strength for attacking it (there is still snow on the top). Maybe 1 day... xxx
