How much better can it get?

Tuesday i did begging again like i have done almost every day here in Saint-Tropez.
While doing that two seasonal workers came to talk with me and they were also the first people here who offered me a beer.


In the evening i visited wifi and got a really nice surprise on facebook. One more very nice article about me.


Wednesday morning one man gave me a restaurant vouchers worth 18 €. So i went to a mid ranged restaurant.


There i ordered the daily special dish which costed exactly 18 €



After that i went back to begging.
In the evening one Australian man (on the left) invited me to have some drinks and pizza.


I have seen him and speaking with him almost every day little bit.

Thursday in the day time i did some begging again but the evening turned out to be very sweet.

As i was walking in the port i saw a party on a luxury yacht. Moment later one guy came down and invited me to come aboard.

The first thing they asked was that if i want to have a drink. Like always i said yes and then they asked what i would like.
And i asked what they have to offer and i got response i wasn't expecting.
"That's the cool thing about having a yacht. You can order whatever you want!" They answered.
So i got myself simple rum and coke.


And because earlier they had a dinner with people on a neighbour yacht we went to the other yacht as well.





Somewhere around 1 am we decided that we go to one very nice nightclub.



Around 3am we went back to the first yacht.
And there was also a hot tub on the third deck where we had some more drinks.




Around 5 am the party ended.

Friday for the hole day i had a big hangover so i didn't beg. In the evening i bought a bottle of cider.


It tasted so well because in Italy they don't sell it.
In the evening i was at the port again but nothing special happened.

Saturday was another very good day for me.

In day time i did begging again and in the evening i went to the port.
There i saw one of the seasonal workers from Tuesday again.
He invited me to eat and have a beer.
After what we went to one apartment where was only basic furniture, TV, Playstation, wifi and alcohol. There we had a little party until 4 am.


After that i went back to the port and met really nice yacht owners and crew.


They offered me drinks and food. After they had heard my story they also made a very nice contribution.
They gave me custom made Nike shoes with their yacht name on it.


And its really good because i was planning to buy new shoes 100-150 km from now.
Because they have a hole on the heel part already.


Sunday i did begging for the most part of the day. I also had the first little incident with the police here while begging. Every day police has passed from me and hasn't said nothing but Sunday there where police officers who i haven't seen before.
They said something in french and when i asked if they speak English they just drove away. Usually if they want me to leave they wait until i go. So i don't know.

Monday i was mostly in wifi and upgrading my blog little bit.
I added pages to my blog which you can see right down from the header.

In the evening one girl came to talk with me. And it turned out that she is also Estonian and lives here in Saint-Tropez.


She and her boyfriend offered me a place to sleep in their little pirate boat. Where we had nice evening with wine.



Today we have enjoyed the possibility to speak our native language and wifi.



Right now my plan is to stay here until the end of regatta. Its the biggest event of the year here and it starts 27th September and ends 5th October.

But if the incident's with the police should occur more often i will have to leave before. 
Regagtta would be the perfect chance to earn some money for preperations for winter season. And that means warmer sleeping bag, warmer clothes and with warmer clothes i have to buy a bigger bag as well.


So far 1896 km.
