Out and about - very little!

Usually we are out and about a lot, but on this holiday it has been 'a little'.  Except for the necessary visits to the supermarket, plus a visit to the garage to get a new tyre for the caravan, we have mostly stayed at the campsite.  After a busy year, and more to come, it has been lovely to stay in one place, and not move too far afield.

We have only been into Le Lavandou once, without even going to our favourite bar, Le Centre, either.   That must be a first for us.  We also went to the market once.  No early morning walks along the sea front either.

The beach of Le Lavandou, looking spectacular in the early afternoon.

A game of boules.

We have visited our favourite shopping centre, Geant, three times though, and had lunch on one of those days.  Our favourite Moules but this time in a crayfish based sauce.  Delicious.

Half of the carpark at Geant has been covered with solar panels, so not only does it provide power for the shopping centre and the grid, but also provides shade for the cars.   Very practical.

Of course we could not come here without a trip to our favourite village, Bormes les Mimosa, high up on the hillside.

It always looks so pretty, against the blue sky.

An arts and crafts market was busy, as were all the shops, due to a number of tourist buses stopping for a few hours.   Australian and American accents were very noticeable.

And what could be more pleasant than a Cafe Creme and our favourite water, Perrier.

We also went on a short trip to our favourite port, Port de Miramar, on a rainy day, for an ice cream, plus a walk along the beach at l'Argentiere.  And of course we visited to Fort de Bregancon.

But on the whole we have not travelled around much.   However we have enjoyed spending our time in Camping Manjastre, and more about this in my next blog.
