We decided to take a break to Calanques, France, for a climbing spree for Rosie and a bit of walking for me. In 2 hours we got our Quber ready and set off.  We reached Pat and Renzo at 1.00am Sun after a 5-hour drive. Nice going altogether.

me and the wife :-)

I took a walk to the climbing walls, then went on following the coast to a crevace in the rocks. A nice walk/scramble. In the afternoon we took a dip in the sea - rather chilly, but enjoyable! A nice ending to the walk.

Someone is not convinced this trip was such a good idea... :-p

Walking uphill in the scorching heat… I followed the climbers for a bit, then Rosie and I went on following the coast to get back to the starting point. 
some great views


Rosie's enjoying the day :-)



We stopped for lunch on a nice promontory, under the shade of some marine pines, then had a refreshing swim when we reached the beach again. Slept at the Camping Municipal de Cassis.

Last day of our break. This morning we left the camp site and headed to Sormiou where I walked with the climbers for a bit, then followed a trail back along the coast. 
a nice spot to have a swim (pretty busy in the early afternoon)
doesn't seem they have any intention of doing any serious work...
















A grapefruit lunch, a last dip in the sea, and we headed back to Italy.
