After arriving in Marseille late Thursday night and miraculously finding out hotel, Tom and I awoke Friday morning rested and in France! With just one euro on we found a boulangerie and large baquette to share for breakfast. Soon after we found a bank to exchange money and little shop where we grabbed yoghurt and orange juice, then we started our hour drive to Toulon.
Laura K's wedding to her French husband Antoine brought Tom and I to southern France for a long weekend. Laura is my big sis from Kappa Delta, an incredible person and friend. I anticipated the weekend would be good, but everything was at least a hundred times better than expected if not more!
After dropping our bags at the hotel and making a quick change into swimming suits, it was straight to the beach we went. It was hot, very hot, the beach stretched a good distance and the water was crystal clear blue. It was like being on a proper sun holiday. I didn't quite expect that. We strolled down the beach along the waves eventually stopping for fun cocktails and tapas. After filling ourselves it was sun bathing time! There was enough time before the wedding for a nap in the sun. I awoke far to hot, but that was not a problem as I had the french riviera in front of me to cool off in. I was in heaven!
We then made it back to the hotel in time to clean up for the wedding. An event in itself, the wedding deserves its own post.
Love
