Port Grimaud et St Tropez
I'm a bit behind because I've been travelling a bit, but here goes. On Sunday and Monday I went to Port Grimaud to visit my pal Jax. The south of France is so close to San Remo it seems rude not to visit. Anyway, I had a braw time and didn't realise Port Grimaud was so close to St Tropez. I thought St Tropez was going to be just like Monaco, a bit pretentious etc, but I loved it. It is basically a small fishing town, a gorgeous one though and great for people watching. Definitely one of my favourite places so far. We went out sailing too in a bespoke sailing boat where everything is controlled electronically. So the sails are brought down (wrong terminology I'm sure) by just pressing a button. Although the electronics couldn't save the boat from being stuck in a pile of sand when trying to sail out of the port. The dashing French 'sailing police' speedboated their way to our rescue and we all had to dangle our bodies off one side of the boat to try to made the boat budge. Worringly that worked, need to lay off the pasta!
