New Adventures are Awaiting

I did a road trip through Spain, France and Portugal with Matty in 2012 and I never wrote about it. Seems a bit of a shame not to have documented our road trip as we were cruising along the rainy plains of Northern Spain, up to the South of France not before tasting the tapas of San Sebastian, then back down, right across to the North-West of Spain, sampling tapas and treats all the way. Then down along the coast of Portugal where the smell of sardines and salted fish trace your every move, bliss!

On a road trip you discover so much more than you would on just a normal holiday. You are left free to discover what you want, no limits, no ties to a single spot… unless the van breaks down, which fortunately didn’t happen the whole time we were there, winner! You can potter around for however long you want, wherever you want.

I’m writing this because the van we did the trip in… this beauty! 

St Tropez. Deux

Our first evening in St Tropez was basically filled with window shopping, ogling at Dolce and Gabbana and drooling past countless patisseries and cafes.

St Tropez- Part 1- Flying Brits

After our two days in Monte Carlo we travelled in style over to St Tropez via helicopter, courtesy of Heli-Air. Is there any other way to travel? Definitely not. I think I need a heli pad in the garden now… in Newquay, but of course!

Monte Carlo

This was my first time down to the south west coast of France, and what better way to begin the luxurious adventure than with a couple of nights in Monte Carlo; tax evaders haven and favourite hangout of the rich and glamorous.
