Welcome to St. Tropez

Tuesday and Wednesday night i got to sleep in the pirate boat again which was very good because it was raining at nights.



From Wednesday to Saturday i was lazy and basically just sat in the port or bar in wifi and watched a lot of movies.

In the bar the workers are very nice and occasionally give free coffees and one time even nice dinner to me.


Friday evening i also met Sea Shepard's who are volunteers in saving marine life.
They even said that i should join with them.  Life on the sea is tempting but i will still walk now.


Sunday i started begging again because people for Regatta were arriving.
And because the town was full of people and that meant that the bar were i charged the battery was full all the time.

So i found a place on the street where i could charge the battery.


Monday evening one of the seasonal workers invited me for a beer again.


Later in the evening one french guy offered me a place to stay. He was also hosting two Russian girls so we had a little party.




His place was in Port Grimaud which is port built with houses so every body could have his own yacht or boat in front of his home.




Tuesday was a rainy day so we watched TV the hole day.

Wednesday i did begging again and in the evening i went to charge the battery and made a new sign.

People describe Regatta here as a week full of drinking and partying with little bit racing.
So sometimes things get a bit crazy here.

While i was charging the battery one very drunk woman came to me but i couldn't understand nothing what she was saying.
Then one of her friends came to take her to the boat to put her sleep. But that didn't happen and they started to have sex right in front of me and even on the same table i was sitting. And i wasnt the only one who saw it because it was pretty public place.


It didn't seem appropriate to take photo while they were having sex but they did it in the place were the classes are.

But i had to charge the battery and i was there first so i stayed there .

Later i went to the port again and many sailors are very nice and they give out free beers and sandwiches.

Thursday i did some begging again and in the evening i found some locals with who to drink wine.


We drank almost until 4 am and then i went to have a shower.
I know the password to the shower rooms and i even have a guy who gives me free tokens so i don't have to pay for a shower.

But during Regatta its very hard to go there in normal time so i use it between 2-6 am.

And when i came out from the shower i slipped. And then i started looking for a hospital but it was very far so the security guys called an ambulance.


In the hospital i was almost 2 hours.


They shaved off some of my beard unfortunately. But they didn't ask any money from me so that was great.

After that i hitch hiked back and went bed at 7 am.

Friday and Saturday i begged again and in the evening went to the port as usually and talked with people.




Sunday i was in wifi all day and gathered information about cities I'm going and the roads.
And the road part was really pain in the ass because there are some lakes, national parks and mountains on my way.

The hardest part.


Also i found a pocket knife.


And the place i have been sleeping here in Saint-Tropez. It was a good place because it was very close to the center, not many people go there and because of the shadow i could sleep until 1 pm.


And now basically ready to leave.

So far 1896 km.
