after our amazing stay at Auberge we checked out hopped in the car and were heading south when we saw a sign that read "fromage" me being the sucker that I am for Cheese I had to follow the arrows to what seemed to be an oasis for me in the sense that I could really use some cheese at the moment. We had to follow the arrows for about 10 minutes before we found this little farm where goat cheese was made. I bought almost every kind they had for a little less than 10 euro, threw it in the back and got back on the road to Aix. We stopped in Aix to pick up a few forgotten items told Fred the place was the amazing, and handed off the cheese for refrigeration.
After getting back on the road towards La Ciotat it wasnt long before we were off track. We missed an exit and went about 150 extra kilometers that day. It was frustrating and that frustration was magnified by the fact that it was a sunny and warm day out and we missed some beach time because we were touring the highway. However, we soon got our bearings and were on our way to the beautiful La Ciotat bed and breakfast. We got into town reserved our room and went and got some lunch in town.
After lunch we returned to our place where we went and hung out on the beach pictured in the postcard. These Colunques are really neat looking. This was obviously overlooking the Mediterranean. We hung out on the beach for a while, hung out on our deck for a while, and then took a short nap before dinner which was just upstairs.
The dinner was very good. I had duck Brooke had the vegetarian dish with a little sorbet for dessert. I preferred the dinner at Auberge but this was pretty good as well.
So the dinner at Auberege was better but La Ciotat trumped them in the breakfast category. It was your basic continental/european breakfast, but something about their croissants and jelly and coffee seemed amazing. Brooke agreed all the way on this.
after breakfast we checked out and hit the road to test our navigation skills with the toughest course yet. We were to take some small roads along the coast.
