Day 6 & 7 : Visiting La Croix Valmer

Banner, Summer vacation 2018

Today we went to visit Fabrice and Carine in La Croix Valmer. Fabrice took us out on a boat ride and the kids showed their Wake-boarding skills. Valentine, Victoire, Juliette and Kristan each had a go with the wakeboard. Some runs where more successful than others :-). We had a delicious dinner in La Croix Valmer with the whole gang (thumbs up to David and Germain for cracking jokes at an incredible speed). I was also able to do a test-drive with the E-Moke from…Continue Reading “Day 6 & 7 : Visiting La Croix Valmer” →

Today we went to St-Raphael to visit Eric and Fiorella (our neighbours in Geer) who rented an apartment there. Eric cooked his delicious “Pates à l’ail” and Fiorella added her ratatouille to make a fabulous meal. Of course this all was accompanied with lot’s of wine :-).

Day 4-5 : relaxing at Grimaud

Well, not much to say because we have been relaxing the hell out of ourselves the last days. The B&B we are staying at is magnificent…truly beautiful so the only thin I can do is show some pictures and let you disover it by yourselves.

Day 3 : afternoon on the Como lake

Summer vacation 2018

During the weekend the Como Lake is busier than the Ring of Brussels on a Monday morning. Every tourist rents a boat or goes on a ferry. So if you want calm… go somewhere else. Motorboats are going in all directions and this from 10 AM until 18 PM. If you get cranky because your neighbour is cutting his lawn with a good old fashioned 200 dB jet fueled lawnmower… don’t come here either. Otherwise : have fun at the Como Lake where you only…Continue Reading “Day 3 : afternoon on the Como lake” →

Day 2 : Arrival at Laglio and Sala Comacina

Summer vacation 2018

After we dropped our luggage at our B&B in Laglio we quickly went to meet Kristan at the nearby village of Sala Comacina where the gang of Sportievak was ending their week of wakeboarding. Well, I can only say this… if you have kids who like to waterski or wakeboard, or who would like to learn it : go and take a look at the website of Sportievak : https://sportievak.be/sportdagen/como-sportievak/. They have a house on the hills of the Como lake with a view even George…Continue Reading “Day 2 : Arrival at Laglio and Sala Comacina” →

Day 2 : trip to Laglio

Summer vacation 2018, Uncategorized

Well, after a refreshing stay in Colmar we started our journey to Laglio in Italy. One of the superchargers we passed is really worth mentionning because it is known amongst Tesla-drivers as one of the most beautiful in Europe. It was not a lie… The supercharger is located at Beckenried just in front of the beautiful Vierwaldstättersee. I think some pictures are needed : As you can see… a nice place to have a cup of coffee while charging your and the car’s battery. The…Continue Reading “Day 2 : trip to Laglio” →
