Day 9 - Port de Saint Tropez

16/06/2016

The weather wasn't too bad this morning, but it was still very dull and showers were supposed to be on their way. I started packing a bag ready to cycle to Saint Tropez until a campsite member of staff approached me handing a cut out of paper, my first thought was information about a show?! No. Heavy rain and storms were due and to act accordingly. I stopped what I was doing and quickly scrambled to pack away the awning to leave me one less thing to worry about. Once that was away I hit the cycle paths, the initial plan was to cycle to Port Grimaud and catch a ferry but I decided that was the lazy option. I cycled past Port Grimaud and into St Tropez. After all it was only 4.5 miles on the flat each way.


As I entered St Tropez I was excited to look around as I had been here previously on a family holiday.  The first thing that hit me were the huge yachts towering over the buildings in the marina. They were absolutely massive. 


The weather was still pretty dull but I didn't care after not doing much yesterday. I ended up walking around in loops past all of the designer shops.


As I walked to the end of the marina I walked under an archway which revealed these buildings right on the sea front! They must get battered by the sea in the storms. 

After a good day walking around St Tropez I hit the cycle paths back to the van to relax and crack open a beer or two. I decided to try find a spot I could set up the slackline but there was absolutely nowhere. The only potential was a plastic volleyball net which would've come straight down knowing my luck!
