Achda to Marseille

Just before we setup our tents; the neighbors came warning us about the torrential rains and flooding they just experienced. We went ahead anyway (why did we do that anyway). Camping was good in Achda, got a short run in also to the harbor. Don't buy any wine from that area, from this year. A crop duster made about 5000 runs over the wine ranks just outside the village; also spoiling Andre's sleep.

In Marseille we found a hotel next to the ferries, and there was also a big BMW sign. since we planned a tire change in South of Spain; but had to cancel; Andre kindly rescheduled to Marseille. He also wanted some more spares, and I still needed a summer jacket.
Well, this was not the dealer's location, so we took the web address and chased around town. Marseille is a   uhhh busy city and special driving skills are needed. Without the cases, we did our best to learn.
Found the street, but no dealer...
Got the new address, which was quite a bit out of town.
Arrived 45 mins late, but they were still helpful and I finally got my tyre change. Clothing selection was small, but I just bought the best I could find. Anneke, please get a second mortgage.

By the time we got back, time for bed for an early start onto the boat on Saturday 8th.
No time yet for the fashion pics yet.

Here is our run onto the boat.


Bike was tied down quickly with some rope and off we went to our cabins.
