31 August 2010 - Blown Away

Arles with the Rhone in the back ground

I now properly understand the meaning of being 'blown away' by something - in this case the mistral and am very fed up with it now It is, however, supposed to be dropping and the wind lighter tomorrow. We have made the most of today though and drove to Arles to visit Roman ruins and to eat a lovely lunch.


The plan is to set sail in the morning, Wednesday 01 September, wind permitting - if not we will drive to Marseille and if I am lucky some retail therapy amongst the sightseeing.


Hopefully my next blog will be from somewhere west of here.

  1. Rather sad that you can't set sail yet, but you probably have the cleanest boat in the Med! At least with the car you have been able to get out and about and enjoy leisurely lunches. Retail therapy sounds like a good idea. Love Kathryn & Vince x
