After a leisurely refreshing breakfast, predominantly fresh fruit & yoghurt, we went back to investigating via the web Air France’s current domestic flight situation, given we are flying next Thursday from Nice to Paris.
In addition we did some work on updating the blog.
We caught a taxi at 12.00 noon back to the Bastille for a BBQ around the pool with the wedding party. Apparently this day in Irish weddings is more important than the wedding day as everyone looks forward to it, so they can mingle with all the guests in a very relaxed fashion, especially the bride & groom.
The hosts cleaned out the supermarket of its 30 baguettes and a range of meat supplies.
Michael & John were the BBQ cooks and required about 3 to 4 restocking of the large BBQ to feed the hordes who descended upon the food area once it was known it was available. Upon completion of the meat cooking, all the bread, salads & potatoes were gone, so John & Michael missed out on the latter. Just as well we put a sausage & burger aside. Sinead’s sister was overheard saying “Now what are we going to eat for the evening meal?”
Michael & John caught up with the rest of the family who were on chairs and lounges at the end of the pool. Gary unveiled his “budgie smuggler” imitation of Tony Abbott, before heading to the pool.
A bocce challenge between the “Fiji Twins” of John G. & Michael Joe against Billie & Michael G. The 3 set test was keenly fought with Bille & Michael coming out victors 2 sets to 1.
It was a very relaxing afternoon and we caught a taxi around 5.00 and headed to Best Western Elixior Grasse, where we had an evening meal at the hotel restaurant.
The for a bit of reading and TV……Zorro in French, followed by a little bit of Arnie dubbed in Total Recall…..not the same without Arnie’s gruf voice!!!!
