It is about time that I try some more apps for my phone. But not now. Sleepy time!

PACA2010 - No internet

We are alive and more then well! We just haven't had access to the wicked world wide web. Or the ordinary one for that matter. This is posted by emailing with my phone. Hopefully it won't be too expensive.

We landed in Nice, got the car and shot off along the coast. A quick stop just outside of Nice for lunch and breakfast supplies for the next day. We had coffee, a stroll along the seaside and a quick dip in the ocean in Cannes. And at St Raphael we stopped for dinner, only to realize that we really had to adjust our "eating pattern".

We were starving some what after six and restaurants didn't open until seven. So after fourty minutes of horrible waiting, we finally got dinner. But it was amazing and well worth the wait. My (two!) fantastic crepes, the view over the harbour, the company and the beautiful sunset made it an almost magical start of our trip.

As the start of our mini coastal road trip took longer than expected, we decided to take the motorway straight "home". This proved to be a bit more exiting then one might expect. We got to experience pouring rain, thunder, lighning and passed a car crash.

The last part, of finding our house in the dark following hand written directions, proved interesting but definitely not impossible.

These last few days we have seen parts of Arles and done some proper grocery shopping. We've had a barbecue (with some duck of course), multiple visits to our pool, dinner on the village square, and a trip to Pont du Gard for some ancient culture and a swim in the river.

We were supposed to see a city of ruins today, but it was way too hot, so we've been by the pool and in the shade by our house all day. Now we're off on a jog to the village center to look at the thursday market.

Lots of love!

PACA2010 - Arlanda

Pigga och glada... NOT!
Eller jo. Glada är vi. :)
Puss och hej.

PACA2010 - no mobile site

Viewing/posting on the site that host my travel journal on my cell phone is horrible. So I'm probably gonna use my blog. Or twitter. Or facebook.

Over and out.

PACA2010 - The Proverb...

...of the trip:

Ignorance is bliss

None of us know french!
It's gonna be -wait for it- AWESOME!

PACA2010 - The Packing...

...is really not my thing!

I was supposed to pack my stuff tonight and go to bed early.

Instead I start another travel journal. And google stuff.... stuff totally unrelated to the journey. And I feel that I may be coming down with something. Not a good start. Straight to bed with me!

Tomorrow: work all day, followed by some shopping, and then packing. And perhaps a beer or bottle of bubbles to celebrate my vacation. ;)

Yay for me!

PACA2010 - The Plan...

Our flights are booked.
We have rented a house.
We have booked a car.

We are going to France!


First off TeamThree - Mia, Arvid and myself - pick up the car in Nice and have a about a week to "gently" make Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and Languedoc-Roussillon ready for what is yet to come.

A week later TeamTwo - Cicci and Nahlin - join our forces and together we make:
Team -wait for it- Awesome!

We have a precious few days to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting coast of that beautiful azure sea and the amazing mountains next to it, before shooting down to Barcelona - for some serious partying - to see TeamThree off.

After that, TeamTwo have the "ungrateful" task of taking care of the area of disaster, left by our venture.

My coverage of our odyssey might not be as frequent as I hope for. Cause: uncertainty of connection.
