Yesterday's excursion included a long bus ride and a boat tour to St. Tropez. At the meeting place for the tour we met an Aussie named Edan (pronounced e-dahn) (Noting this because it was a really sweet name.) Anyway, it appeared that at least 40% of the people on this cruise/tour was from Australia and we were the only Americans...weird. Anyway, after about an hour bus ride southwest, we stopped in Port Girmaud and experienced our first sand beaches since being in France. They were great until this huge rain cloud came and stole our sun. No rain really though. They also had this sweet village which was possibly the highlight of my day where I spent my last remaining money on 14Euros worth of candy. So worth it.
We hopped back on the bus for an additional 10 minutes to the port to board our cruise ship. One man was left behind in port grimaud because he didn't find the bus in time. We then cruised through Millionaire's Bay where apparently Bryan Adams has a home. Who knew?!
And finally to St. Tropez.
We didn't spot any stars, just a lot of people playing Bocce Ball in the park/ city centre. After taking a usual 30 minutes to decide which restaurant to eat at, we finally choose Le Sportie (on the main street). On our way back we saw a huge bonfire on the beach. I only have a crappy picture of it, but a sweet video where you can actually see it. Really really sweet and wish i was a part of that...
Relaxed a bit at night and had some gelati... Yum!!
Other observations:
- They have pizza and ice cream every 10 feet
- We have never seen MORE and more massive Yachts in our life
- The biggest car on the street is an Audi semi suv if you could call it that
- and you can drive anything on the streets here (ie 4 wheelers, golf carts, go carts, mopeds)
- "Shit Happens" is a universal phrase
