Bouches du Rhône's greatest hit

La Barben and Puyloubier (week 34)

We had 2.5 days to pack after returning from Corsica, so we naturally decided to do one more day trip to a nearby site.  We asked the kids if there was a favourite spot they wanted to see again, and they chose  the zoo at La Barben.  It was considerably busier this time, considering it was warmer and during the school break, but still we were able to see what we wanted.

So we then bid a fond farewell to Puyloubier, our home for the last 7 months.  We managed to get on the road at 11am on check-out day; the Mistral gave us a good send-off (fortunately, we are going east so the wind was at our backs!).  The car is a little over-packed, because we brought some food with us to eat along the road - more than we could easily fit in, as it turned out.  But once we eat our way through that (and can start wearing our warm jackets, also piled up in the back), we'll be able to see out the rear-view mirror with ease.
