All holidays come to an end - regretfully.

Yes, regretfully great holidays come to an end, as they always do, but on the brighter side, there are always new holidays on the horizon.  

We left Camping Manjastre in brilliant sunshine and perfect warmth.  That was hard, as we knew it would become cooler and cloudier as we travelled north.  We turned the airconditioner off in the car before we reached Dijon.

The last of the photographs from the south of France.

We discovered the Sunday market in La Londe.   People told us that the La Londe market was better than the one in Le Lavandou, but we did not believe them, which was a pity as we could have been visiting it for years.   The La Londe market was not as large for a start, and certainly had more character, as it was set out on the main street, rather than in a carpark.   Therefore there were plenty of cafes, in which to sit down and soak up the atmosphere.    And the stall holders were very friendly which added to the festive atmosphere.  We spent plenty of money too, I might add.  

We also went for a drive along the coast.  A gloriously clear day.

And very few cars on the road, so we could also enjoy the views.

The swimming pool.  So calm.  Great reflections at night.  And icy cold water too.

Our last evening at Camping Manjastre.  First we had drinks at David and Joyce's tent, which was really lovely, and then met Joan at the restaurant for a steak dinner.   The chef is excellent and the dinner last night did not disappoint us.

Joan and me, looking very happy.  We had many great meals together these holidays.

So it was with great sadness when we said goodbye to everyone, and set off home.  But looking forward to next year.   Thank goodness for Facebook, so that we can keep in touch in the meantime.
