Cruising in the French Riviera

Ever since we stepped on the boat I’ve had a huge cheesy grin stuck on my face which seems impossible to wipe off. I am so happy right now!!! James has organised people to polish the boat and get her ready for use, so an hour before we left he called to let them know we were coming so we could just jump in and head out. Isn’t she gorgeous??

With my heart in my throat I watched James manoeuver out of the spot for the first time, luckily it went really smoothly. You don’t want to bang into any of these you know…….

As soon as we were out of the harbour we powered off jumping off the waves, and just when I thought my smile couldn’t get any wider it stretched so wide I was scared the corners of my mouth would crack.

We had a bit of fun out at sea before we decided to go for lunch at Anjuna in Eze. Anjuna is one of my favourite beaches! The restaurant serves lovely home cooked food and is gorgeously decorated.

If you ever go here you should try the roasted chicken or the salt baked fish for 2, which is what we normally have, we were both just far to excited to eat anything heavy so we ordered some sashimi, sea bream tartare and salad instead :)

There is that cheesy grin again….. ;)

After lunch we headed towards Cap Ferrat for a while before we turned back and went for a swim right outside of my favourite hiking trail at Cap Martin. You have no idea how many times I’ve been daydreaming about doing that, and the feeling of swimming in the ocean can not be described with words. I was so happy I got dangeroulsy close to cracking those corners of my mouth again. In fact I laughed so hard in the water I exhausted myself and had to swim back to the boat to catch my breath. #happiness

Åh , du er så herlig!! Jeg har hørt kjempe masse bra om Kroatia, så jeg skjønner godt du gleder deg! 3 uker går fort som bare det, har du begynt å planlegge pakkingen? ;) xx

Irene July 5, 2012 at 10:30

uff, pakking ja. hihi.. Nei, men har begynt å gå til innkjøp av sommerklær som jeg kan bruke der ;) Er så deilig å vite at i år har jeg faktisk mulighet til å bruke sommerklær!!! wuhu..
Vi skal “backpacke” litt rundtom i Kroatia, så må være meget funksjonelt. Lurer på om det ikke blir ryggsekk også. Hmm… Kunne mest tenkt meg spaferie, men men, det blir opplevelser utav backpacking :D

The boat looks absolutely gorgeous! So jealous that you can ride on that boat every week if you wanted to.

What is the flag on your boat? i’m just curious.

Celina July 4, 2012 at 17:36

I don’t have a boat licence, so actually I will be sitting on land knowing the boat is in walking distance yet I can’t use it. James is away for 10 days, so untill then the beaches will have to do and I’m obviously not complaining as the beaches are incredibly beautiful as well :)

Camila July 3, 2012 at 22:04

I envy you!
I know very well that feeling when you sink into the sea, and is the closest thing to happiness I know…
By the way, your hair looks gorgeous :)

Hehe, the sashimi was really delicious. I think they actually called it tatiki or something similar, it was salmon sashimi with sesame crust. xx

It looks amazing! I can see why you are smiling so much, Monaco must be the ideal place to have a boat! I am glad you had a lovely first excursion with the boat and I guess there are many more to come!

Ahhh! The boat is beautiful! And I was sitting smiling like crazy the whole time I read your entry haha! I love hath feeling too! I get it when I buy a Mulberry bag (materlialistic I know, but I am such a sucker for them!) I bought one 3 weeks ago on cacay with my mom and my face actualy started to hurt after a while. Goofy grin everywhere, yours is very pretty though :)

Btw, what did you decide with your livingroom table? Did you keep the wooden one or change it ?

Have a nice day!
