Tom and I had been wanting to do this hike for quite a while. Basically just follow the back road all the way until you reach a small town called La Mole. According to Google Maps, it's 8.8km one direction and takes around an hour and 50 minutes to complete. What Google Maps doesn't tell you is that it's all uphill, and that when it is 30 degrees celcius with hardly any wind and the trees are separated because the path is a long a ridge, it is very very tiring. However, Google Maps also doesn't tell you about the amazing view of the Gulf of Saint Tropez that you can see from that ridge. So it's all worth it. We actually didn't get to La Mole. We made it to about 8km, sat down on a rock and ate our lunch (sandwiches, crisps, apples, and snickers) and then turned around and went back and kicked it in the apartment until the football game started. I hung around for a bit after that and tried to pay attention, but I can't stand sport radio so I ended up coming back to the house a minute too late since Christine had just ordered the Chinese (which is actually Thai food). My dinner consisted of too-mushy white rice, strawberries, and 1/3 a baguette.
slimy, yet satisfying ;)
