st tropez






in a moment of spontaneous living a friend and i got in the car early saturday morning and hit the stretch of road to st tropez for some fun in the sun. a weekend with the rich and famous. in general st tropez is not liked by many for its superficiality. but we discovered the smaller inner beauty of this famous village in the cote d'azur. we chilled around the village. had lunch staring at the walkers by and enjoying the fresh sunny spring weather. we booked into a fabulous hotel and hung around the pool side most of the afternoon. sipping mojitos and enjoying the hospitality of the friendly people. soaking up the atmosphere and loving every moment we hit the beaches. quiet this time of the year we made mental notes for our next return visit. where to go and what to avoid. a perfect weekend of relaxation with not a lot of fly-by-nights cramping our style. we rounded off a perfect day with dinner out. in a small side street in the rural part of the village we found a bistro to feed our needs. we loathed there for the rest of the night absorbing the tranquility of our new found habitat. fun in the sun indeed. sunday morning we took the scenic route back home. stopping in every small village and finally ending up in cassis for lunch. simply exquisite. another weekend of dream living. yet again.
