St Maxime - Uchaud 4th July 2012

Today was always planned as a sort of rest day, with roughly three hours required to get to Uchaud. 


 We took our time getting up and had breakfast at 8.00am by the pool (as one does) and in the sunshine. ( I could get used to French breakfasts ) Bram had never swam in the Meditereanian sea, so naturally this was to good an opportunity to miss, swim gear sorted then off to the beach, even at 9.30am the beach was already reasonably busy. 

We enjoyed our swim and Bram could tick another item off his things to do list. Back to the hotel where we checked out and left the bikes in the garage and our gear in their baggage room. 


Of course some of the lads had a nipple count competition on the beach. Naturally I lost as I never saw any bare boobs? Heaven forbid! After strolling along the beach Bram, Derrek ( Sietse ) and myself complete with Pauline in tow, went st St Tropez. 


To be honest there is nothing there just some very rich people showing their big boats off and the plebs like us gawking at them. We took some photos then off to Uchaud. When we arrived at Uchaud the hotel was on a busy street and looked like a real run down dump. But when we went through the arched gateway our mouths fell open. There was a huge garden, we didn't get rooms we got little houses, with an electric gate and a 4 meter wall the bikes were also perfectly safe. I would defiantly recommend this hotel to any one. The lady owner was friendly and very helpful.... And did her best to speak English, which for a French person is special. She even had had s sence of humour. However that soon went when I ask for some South African wine hahaha.
