We arrived on the Med again on Saturday - this time at Cassis, a beautiful small town tucked behind Marseilles. Lovely campsite so we decided to stay for 3 days. There was one drawback, it was half hour's steep climb up from the harbour and we did that each day! The sun just didn't stop shining the whole time, so we took advantage and spent Sunday walking ... and walking ... the paths take you round several stunningly beautiful inlets and we followed one down into a pretty sandy cove for our picnic lunch. This was Sunday and we are in France, so we had to share the beach with tout le monde! There was quite a lot of uphill involved and it was very rocky and then once back into the town, we still had the climb - not surprised when the GPS told us that we had walked 8.6 miles! The whole harbour area of Cassis is lined with restaurants spilling out onto the quai - on Sunday they were packed to the gunnels, so it was really lovely to go back down there yesterday and have a great birthday lunch at La Veille Auberge with people about, but not packed. So apart from the climb, we spent a very enjoyable lazy day. This morning the clouds had come up and its quite chilly with the odd shower. We've moved a little further along the coast to Sanary-sur-Mer to a slightly scruffy campsite, so will only do one night here. Have come down to walk along the sea front and harbour here - it is lovely but would look so much better if the sun was shining. Forecast for tomorrow is much warmer.
Shame about the snow back home - keep yourselves warm!
