A drive to Heidiland

Half an hour from our village there is a region of Heidiland, called so after a famous book about a little girl in the Alps, which then became TV series.

It is a picture-perfect Switzerland! The lake (Wallensee) is dark aquamarine with white sailing boats, surrounded by high mountains, tidy pastures and lovely wooden houses.

And of course we took our new car for a photoshoot and drive :)

Our may holiday in Bandol

We spend last week in hot, sunny and very summery Bandol in South of France.
Our accommodation was half a house with a giant garden and a swimming pool.
A gate to the house from the street:

First level of the garden had a bbq and was our outdoor dining room:
Playing in the garden
Second level had a swimming pool and an abundance of mulberries falling from a tree straight into your mouth!

A medieval village of Castelet was our only day trip, as it was too hot for travelling on most days:

Not far away from where we stayed in Bandol, there was a little shingle beach, where Jacques Cousteau invented SCUBA diving! So we have been busy exploring the sea ourselves:

All in all one of our best holidays in years! :)
