Day 9 Ciotat to Saint Tropez

So just over a hundred miles today. The drive started well heading along the coast.

Problem is got stuck in a jam just outside Toulon for a while. It was baking and the heat from all the cars and trucks was making it even worse.

Max though kept his cool, even though the new electronics in the temp gauge turns it into a worry gauge as you can see the temp increase then drop as the fan kicks in.

But once out of Toulon the roads opened up as most of the traffic uses the tolls.

Lots of vin yards and trees now olives.

Arrived in St Tropez very hot and bothered so decided to take a boat, I asked at the tourist info and they said it was cheaper to use the water bus so of I headed to port Grimaud. The Venice of St Tropez, very very pretty.

That done off to campsite for a cool down and a light dinner as by then was feeling pretty rough by now. Not enough fluids and the heat don’t mix

My view for dinner

Just in mac d’s using their WiFi and having a ice tea peché (remember that Charlotte ?)

Been walking since 10 (now 13.30) to visit that place that was truly scrumptious.

More soon
