Monday 21st July - Frejus - Room with a view


Bonjour Bloggers from sunny Frejus


The journey from Nice to Frejus was a bit of a nightmare I'm afraid. It's only about 35 miles but it took over 2½ hours - I could have gone quicker in London!


We got here a bit late for spending too much time on the beach or by the pool but what a lovely beach it is! All sand with sparkly bits, gently shelving into the crystal clear turquoise Mediterranean.


The hotel is a stunner. The best one yet by a long way, but then again it is a lot more expensive than the others too. We decided because we got here so late that we would book an additional night so we can enjoy the place fully. We have a private beach, swimming pool, health spa (yeah right!) and the most amazing balcony view. The room overlooks a beautful harbour packed with gleaming white yachts. All around the harbour are boutiques, restaurants and bars which come alive after about 8pm. The photo shows the view from our balcony at night.


When we arrived we emptied the mini-bar and stocked the fridge with our own orange juice, water, beer and food. Later on we found a supermarket where we bought cooked fish, tomatoes, peaches and pate and this morning I popped over to a boulangerie to grab a still warm baguette for breakfast on the balcony. This really feels like living the dream!


Must dash now - we have plonked books and towels down on sun-loungers by the pool to beat the Germans to the best spots. A day lazing in the sun awaits...
