    I’ll check out L’Isle Sur La Sorgue next year when I’m in the South of France. I was in Aix en Provence earlier this year. 
    What was that like? We are thinking of spending a week down there next year, mixing coast for a day or two, L’Isle Sur La Sorgue and Avignon but did see signs to Aix en Provence on the way to L’Isle Sur La Sorgue. 


  • Just got back from Cancun

    Thanks all, I have been told about the water and ice, we will only be drinking bottled water throughout, brush our teeth with that etc. but Imodium will be taken :smile:

    We have a private scuba diving as part of the hotel on its own little beach so will be looking to do that at some point.

    Just generally looking forward to going and it'll be the first time I venture out of Europe.
    Only drink room temperature water, ice cold can potentially shock your system and make you unwell. The doctor told me that when I got ill out there.

    Only spent a couple of days in Aix but it was extremely hot at the time which curtailed some sight seeing. However, we did go  to Valensole to see the lavender and sunflower fields - the small town of Valensole is worth a visit. We also went to Guissan for oysters - recommend La Pearle Gruissanaise.

    What hotel are you staying at Sage.

    I'd recommend Aigues Mortes for a day trip too - a bit to the west but worth seeing.

    They're not cheap but you can get amazing water filter bottles now. I spent 9 weeks travelling through Asia and often drank tap water through my filter bottles without ever getting ill.  Do your research!
    For me, it was way better than the hundreds of plastic bottles I would otherwise have had to use.
  • Off early Thursday for a week in Cornwall. Weather forecast not looking good.
  • Just back from a superb long weekend away in Kilkee. Spent some time in Kilrush, Carrigaholt and Ennis too. Great to catch up with family and retrace the steps I took in the summers of my youth. Up the banner!
