We are now on our own at Camping Manjastre, and feeling a bit lonely after a lovely nine days with David, Catherine, Barry and Diana.
On Monday we drove them to Nice, a two hour car trip away, in order for them to catch their plane to Dubai, where they are now enjoying very, very hot days.
But before they left there was a quick car wash of the two hire cars. Three men, and two buckets of soapy water, certainly made light work of the sand blown over from the Sahara Desert. And yes, the desert sand certainly blows over the Mediterranean and straight onto the land here. In this case, on our cars.
Our last cup of coffee, before departing to Nice. It was a very windy day, blowing from the west this time, so no Sahara Desert dust. It was almost a mistral, but not quite.
And this morning I woke to silence, the wind had gone, thank goodness. However, my bed was filled with leaves and twigs from the trees. Not pleasant.
A view of the deserted pool. The temperature in the pool has dropped to 19 degrees, due to the high wind. But what a beautiful view.
Donna's caravan and our motorhome have gone from the site. Empty!
Walter, in his swim suit, relaxing in the shade of the trees. The water may be cold, but the air temperature was hot.
I am looking after your ant colony, David and Barry. I have not been tempted to pour boiling water over them or spray them with insecticide. These ants have been building their nest during the last nine days, and carrying huge pieces of bread, and twigs, to the entrance. They have made three large road ways, in order to carry their goods. Busy, busy ants. They have been the source of much amusement for us.
Only four more days until we leave the campsite. Although we miss the rest of the crew, it is still a beautiful place to holiday and we will be looking forward to coming back in August.
