We travelled to La Faviere and ate ice creams (before this photo was taken).
La Faviere, which is also the port of Bormes, has been transformed from a hot, treeless and bleak seaside town, into a sleek resort which is now so popular it is difficult to find a car park. This photo looks down the main street, deserted due to the shops closing at lunchtime.
Breakfast at Cafe du Centre. Donna and I rode the bikes there, downhill to Le Lavendou but uphill all the way back. We were extremely hot by the time we got back. The breakfast was worth it though - orange juice, croissants, baguette and coffee.
Sunbathing at Le Lavandou. Donna and I have decided this is a much smarter beach, and also has the advantage of a short walk from carpark and a very short walk to the water. The umbrella also came with us this time. I think I look less like a beached whale in this photo, certainly a lot cooler under the umbrella.
Of course I cannot compete with Donna!
We went to La Londe port for lunch. Scott feeling very hungry by this stage.
Walter and Scott concentrating on their moules. Very satisfying!
Down by the port, a short walk after lunch and before we ate our enormous ice creams.
A walk up the winding and steep streets of Bormes les Mimosas, which is a delightful hill top town. Very touristy and delightful.
A shop in an old cave.
Prickly pear (at least I think that is what this cactus is called) which is loaded with fruit. Prickly pear grows extremely well here, but not out of control, unlike in South Australia, where it went out of control in the outback.
Looking towards the town hall, in Bormes les Mimosa.
Reading by the pool today!
