Manda is generally sick; ears aching, headache, sick in the tummy, tired. I've just driven 9 hours so am stuffed also. Tried for best part of 2 hours to find accommodation after leaving a campsite just on the St Topez side of Cannes which was full of mozzies and as hot as we've had to date; 26.5. Cannes was interesting and despite the chaotic traffic seemed to have a nice vibe - beachy, or as close as could be expected considering their flat otherwise uninteresting beach! Volleyball and sunbathing the main activities, swimming a distant 3rd or even perhaps 4th to eating and drinking there. I'd have loved a swim given the heat but ran out of time. I guess we will get some beach time in Nice in the next 2 days.
Anyway, again we took Tom's advice and headed up into the hills as they boarder the coast pretty closely and have some dramatic coastal views and possibly more dramatic rocky outcrops to explore, time permitting! We were is search of a wee little village called St John and when we eventually found it, it was beautiful! Sadly no accommodation in our price range and campsite closed, or so it seemed?!? Getting desperate and fatigued we followed signs for any accommodation and were resigned to the fact we'd just pay whatever to get a bed for the night. Of course the next place we found was a chateau! 5 stars of pure luxury, or at least I imagine it would be. I got this feeling when we pulled up alongside an old immaculate black Rolls Royce. Felt like we were in a scene from James Bond! Finally, through shear desperation, we pulled into a busy campsite and found a site to set up camp. Phew!
