Bonjour from Toulon in the south of France......
........today we are heading to the beach, because beaches are a must on holiday and frankly, who doesn't love a beach?!
So yesterday we had a lovely relaxing day cruising and relaxing (I'm using the word 'relaxing' a lot, but hey!) on deck - temperatures were high and I had on massive quantities of sun cream to stop the ole pale skin from burning - we "relaxed" some more in the bath temperature hot tubs with views of north Africa in the distance - seriously what more could one ask for?
Whilst exploring the front of the ship on Tuesday evening we saw some dolphins, just chilling, probably "relaxing" - simply surfing the waves and being all fabulous as the sun set in the distance!

One of the things I am missing most (even more than Facebook, which, surprisingly enough, is not much ) is reading some of the lovely blogs I follow - I thought I'd panic not being in contact with the virtual world, but its been quite ok - "relaxing" even.
Ok, so here are a few pictures from days 4-5......most, actually ALL of my Gibraltar ones are on my Canon camera, so they will have to wait.

1. We had another formal dinner last night and I wish I had packed more glamorous dresses to wear, but because we travelled down by train with luggage in tow I didn't want or need that extra weight.........pack light, dress simple and have fun :)
2. It is always so stunning to watch the sun set and it was still so warm and not at all windy - I'm not used to such lovely weather......I could get used to this.
3. Mum, ready for our posh dinner....
4. You'll be pleased to know I've located these - just in case, you never know when they could be needed........and strangely enough I've forgotten what they are called ???? - I'm having one of those moment's I think!
5. I'm not sure you want to see a picture of my dinner, but hey ho, I'm doing it anyway - Gav would love this - lasagna, his favourite :)
6........and tiramisu to finish - yum!
7. Flowers - I'm rubbish at knowing the names of such things, but I'm sure someone will know......I just love how they look with the sun shining though the delicate petals!
8. Can you handle another sunset photo haha? This was taken just after we saw the dolphins.......2 of my favourite things at once!! Makes me a very happy girl.
9. Oh, and this is Eddie - my little travelling elephant......I shall tell you the story of how and why we came to meet another time - but here we are in Gibraltar, you can see the rock in the background.
10. This is our ship - not too big is it?
11. Guess how much this ring is worth? Seriously! no really..........please guess?

I'm going to see if this blogger app will let me read my favourite blogs whilst we're on land. Coffee and blogs - happy days :)
Until my next blog -
