We arrived very hot and Mum was very bothered. We checked into a Campground called Sandaya which is next to Frejus town - about 10 mins away. Everyone seemed to be checking in at the same time and all the staff were wearing pirates costumes. They did not look very pleased to be wearing those costumes and wigs. Dad said they were not happy bunnies. Speaking of not happy bunnies - Mum was not that stoked when she heard that our cabin did not have clime. What made it worse was that the cousins did! We left Mummy alone for a bit to cool off (get it - get that joke!!!). Anyway - she lifted her chin up and made the most of it. The place was huge and it did have 5 pools which made us happy! They also had 2 water slides.
Most of the days we packed the car and headed to explore the beaches along the coastline. They were amazing! Clear blue water and beautiful beaches - most packed with people but we did find some good sneaky beaches without many visitors too. Lots of boobies out which was very funny. We cracked up seeing so many topless ladies but then soon got very used to it. We kept asking Mummy and Auntie Anna to be topless too but they were too shy. We swim with no tops as all the kids in France do - we love it! Freedom!
One day at one of our favourite beaches our cousin Lucy got stung by a jellyfish (or in French, Medusa). She got a really bit fright and ran out of the water screaming her lungs off "I've been stung by a Jellyfish!" The whole beach stopped and stared at us. Poor her - the man next to us told Tim to wee on her hand straight away! Haha but that works the best as the sting got a bit less after that.
At other beaches we snorkled and dived off rocks and mostly did lots of swimming around. It was so nice to be in the sea. At another beach, another funny thing happened - while we were swimming out to the pontoon, Vi spotted a poo floating around! She squealed and we all had to wait for it to float away. Ewwwww.
Another day trip was to meet up with Delphine, Huges, Cami and Chloe at a lake which was inland - called Saint Cassein. It was really beautiful and so nice to for a change. We swam all afternoon then Delphine took us to the village they were staying in for dinner and a game of boules. It was called Fayence. It was old and very cool with windey footpaths and cats sleeping in doorways.
Everynight back at the campground there was entertainment put on for the guests. We were the only guests that spoke English we reckon but that was ok. The best night was when they had a Micheal Jackson impersonator. He was awesome and very true to real. We actually were in shock with how good he was! He even signed his business card for our books! Cool man.We loved the beaches so much but after this week we take off for Provence. We will be back to beaches after that. See you soon! Oh and we are nearly at the half way of our holiday and miss everyone back in New Zealand very much. Please email us with your news as we are a bit homesick too.
