- Tangled Christmas lights
- A Rainy Day
- Lost Luggage
Well I would like to officially throw some other suggestions in the mix ..
- Getting stuck in torrential downpours with sopping feet
- Knowing you have to pack damp clothes in to a backpack when you were promised by the laundromat your clothes would be dry.
The above two require a whole other level of 'woosaaaas' and "I will not take this out on the person I love, I will not take this out on the person I love" mantras to get through
with character un tarnished and bad moods avoided.
But here we are!!! The above situations both occurred in our latest adventure through the South of France, a magical place that if you believe in heaven on earth, it could come close. Everything about the towns we visited (maybeeee minus Toulon) were so remarkable and it took a lot of will power to actually leave today & head on to our next awaiting adventure in Spain.
We chose Monte Carlo*, Nice, Cannes, St Tropez, Toulon & Nimes as the cities to explore and each dished us up something unique & different.
Monte Carlo we got to have a bet at the famous Casino - & a win!! We also were wowed by the bay - no surprises there & got some GREAT inspiration for when we own our boat one day (what do they say? If your goals don't scare you they're not big enough?)
Nice we strolled leisurely down their gorgeous boardwalk area along the ocean every opportunity we got. We lounged at the beach (something we had been craving!) and got lost in their 'old town' area - this city is perfect to eat, drink, relax & explore in and I really mean that!
Cannes we walked the stairs that the movie stars do each year at the film festival & then decided to actually go & see a film (the mood compelled us to do so). The sentence "we should put 'see a film in cannes' on our bucket list just to tick it off may or may not have been uttered. We also fell in love with all the streets full of tiny restaurants & bars with amazing decor - each one as different from the next. Very very cool, vibin' happenin' city they've got there.
So where does the torrential downpours & damp clothes come in to it? Well, it would seem we are starting to hit the cold weather now that was always inevitable & we got a taste of that in France (ergo the wet feet, torrential downpours & damp clothes for packing) but luckily the weather goddess was giving us very 'clockwork' weather with one beautiful warm sunny day then rain the next then sunshine, then rain so we still managed tonnes on our warm sunny days & some much needed R&R in our hotels the rainy days - it was actually perfect.
Until then, I hope your own adventures, whatever they may be are keeping you feeling excited & fulfilled.
Love & Light,
Anna x
*I knowwwww Monte Carlo isn't technically South of France but as far as I'm concerned, they are. The country is IN France, speaks French & has croissants - so for the purposes of detailing our South of France adventure, Monte Carlo got a look in as part of that. Kapeesh?

I was so excited to see your post as the south of france has been on my bucket list for years! Great pictures and thanks for letting me visit lol! Can't wait to see pictures from Spain!
ReplyDeleteOhh you will absolutley adore it when you get there. It has an amazing relaxed vibe to it and truly is beautiful. Nimes & Nice had a tonne of stuff 'to do' where as st tropez is very much a more 'relax in your hotel and chill out' kind of city (with amazing restaurants for dinner & wine of course!) Let me know if you need any hints when its time to book x
DeleteHi Anna, your photos are splendid, it must be unbelievable skipping from one European city to the next.
ReplyDeleteHi Sam!! thank you so much :) It truly truly truly is and I don't for one second take any of it for granted. We are both very much now not wanting the trip to end it's been so magical, but will be happy to get home none the less x
