Wow lets head to Cassis - and check out Marseille on the way. Loaded up bikes and took off from our French Hosts in Miramas for a night away. Well - Marseille is a big jungle, the port area was nice but we decided to just keep heading over the hill to Cassis and what a view it was, an amazing coastline. We arrived, parked the car and walked around and around with great small town with a Marina and it smelt of $$$$. The beach was very small and crowded, any spot will do in Europe to catch a few rays!! Tops or no tops thats your choice too - Pascal was busy checking out the scene, I had to drag him up to the apartment to meet our Host Ines a young french girl, she rents a room in the apartment that her parents own and she lives in. She zoomed up in the latest mini and was a force of energy. We had to wait awhile for her so thought we should relax enjoy the view and yep have a glass of wine - mmmm but not c*** crew so thanks to Katrina - Rods daughter I had an idea lets see if that trick off u-tube works. I got Rod to take his shoe off, put the bottle in the heel and started banging & banging & banging it against the concrete wall & VOILA' it came out little by little - magic love it - so there are tricks to be learnt off the internet. When we mention it to Ines asking did she know about this trick she said "Of course I am French." She then went on to explain her name to everyone is happiness because her 1st name is INES and her family name is HAP' so she likes to be called HAP'NESS and she was a ray of sunshine, we had a great laugh with her. That evening we walked down the hill to have dinner and went to a wonderful restaurant called Fleurs & Thyme, so quaint - no english here, only French. The meals was fantastic, we ate fare to much, house specialties - and we had NO WINE!! - water in a wine glass instead mmm a new experience. The photos look a bit weird. Another late night - we have big plans to cycle up to the Cap tomorrow - the road was closed today as the winds were to strong.
