Gorgeous day in Provence! We're anchored today and we took the tender to shore to do our walk-a-bout. Just a few steps away from where the tended dropped us off was the local market, the usual vegetables, and other products, along with bottle of the area's famous fish soup. Our friends said we needed to try the local bread type product made from chick pea flour, olive oil, salt and cooked in a large flat pan like the ones used for paella. We did as instructed and it was great when served hot!
After the market we continued our walk along the promenade first then along a coastal trail. Great way to get some exercise while getting to enjoy the view. The community itself is quite small and although described as more of a working fishing port than a tourist destination - it seemed touristy enough to us. The water front had numerous shops and restaurants lining the street and catering to the many people enjoying the city beaches.
I insisted we be back onboard the ship in time for me to swim off the back - a highlight for me and this was our first opportunity. We should have several more ports where we can swim as well, fingers crossed the weather allows for this - it's so much fun. I didn't convince Adrian to join me today - he tested the water while we were on shore and declined, maybe next time. We did share a lovely hot tub after my swim though.
