Living the highlife on the Mediterranean in Antibes

Today we spent our second day in Antibes rubbing shoulders with some very very VERY rich people. The harbour in this small town on the South of France is full of yachts and cruise liners, some of which (we Googled) are valued at over 60 million pounds.

So we decided to hire one for ourselves, and after a little negotiation got ourselves a cruise liner of our own. The "Poseidon 455" - basically a bathtub with a Vespa motor stuck on the back.

It was fun though, actually loads of fun, pootling around the Cap D'Antibes watching the fish, staring at the amazing boats and finding secluded bays to stop in. We dropped anchor at a beach away from the main harbour and bobbed around for an hour or so soaking up some sun and jumping in for a cooling swim in the Med.

We both drove, and Jacq became very good at pointing us into the wake of the big boats to try and bounce me out into the sea.

We both agreed that this was one of the most fun things we've done on the trip so far.
