This is the story about how a great plan turned into a briljant plan. The great plan was born a couple of weeks ago… the foundation of the plan was found in the following one-liner: “wouldn’t it be great if we could cycle in the sun…”
From that start the plan quickly grew hands and feet: one week, sleep late each morning, nice breakfast, bit of cycling in the afternoon, lunch at a nice terrace in the sun, late afternoon a dip in the pool or ocean, dinner at a nice restaurant or a barbeque with a good bottle of wine… With these ingredients it must be a winning recipe! ;-)
Quite often Bastiaan and I have these kind of plans, but unfortunately it usually doesn’t go beyond the point of a great plan. But as you could guess, or already did guess correctly, not this time! :-)
So this morning the great plan was picked up again, the first little dust whipped off, and this afternoon already success was there!! Our first choice holiday-house just outside St. Tropez on the Cote d’Azur was available, and besides a couple of minor details like payment, it’s ours for the first week of May! :-) Just briljant!! And at the beginning of May the weather must be nice down there! Hopefully nice and sunny with about 25 degrees? Mmmm… doesn’t that sound nice? To make you even more jealous, here are some pictures! ;-)

But!! Don’t be to jealous sweet friends!! As we will also be on a little mission. A mission to find out if this trip will actually be fun. Well, how could it not be… but could it be fun enough to do it again on the end of the summer?!? And then with some more people! So yes, it’s time to ask yourself if you could do with a week in the sun at the end of the summer! :-)
