My new friend...

I told you yesterday just how bored I got on the journey to Bari in Italy. The good part was at the end of the trip the Guv stayed at a camp site we had used before, however since we had stayed there in 2012 the owners had acquired a new addition to their family.

In the morning the Guv let my new friend come with us for the early beach run-a-bout.  We both had a great time racing each other, mind you I think I need to loose a bit of weight, he out-ran me !   (my new canine friend, not the Guv!!!!)

Its too long !

Now as much as I like going out in the "poppymobile" sometimes the journey is just too long!  The Guv always makes sure I get stops along the way to "do things" however the drive all the way from the top of Italy to nearly the bottom was BORING.

You see the Guv chooses to get the floating bath tub that swallows cars and trucks from Bari to Greece as the sea trip is only around 9 hours and he says its better for me, however I think next time he is thinking of changing the plans as I know he also got fed up during the drive.........

Could I be a star?

Now as some of you know I have written three books about my life, travels and travel in Europe, if that dancing dog "Pudsey" can get a film made about him I thought I might have some chance of being signed up around here !

St Tropez and all that....

So now I have seen the beaches in St Tropez & St Maxine and to a Greek mutt like me they look the same as the ones I live near in Greece, sand and sea.  Mind you I will say the humans here seem to have lots of money as some of bath tubs are a bit luxurious.  For me I'll stick with the ones in the first photo below as they look the same as what I see in Petalidi.......and save the Guv some money so he can buy me more treats!

Its too hot

Sometimes my people amaze me!  I thought we went to the U.K. this summer to avoid some of the heat in my home country of Greece.  Now they take me to the Cote d' Azure and yesterday the temperate was rose to 31C

Just a few minutes on the beach for the Guv to take my photo and I was back in the "poppymobile" with the cool air, I can tell you........

Water, water every where

My regular readers will know how much I hate water!  So what does the Guv do today but take me to the riverside in Aubeterre-sur-Dronne.  Mind you it was quite interesting as the local authorities not only keep a great camp site here but also make the river into a beach, sand and all!  Good for the humans to swim in.

A few blondes together

The Guv said he was off to see a few "blondes", so I thought I had better go along and check out just what he meant, as I don't think the Misses was too impressed!

Well as you can see it was me that met these blondes, "the blondes of Aquitaine" are cattle (many people mistake them for Charolais, but the Blondes are much leaner).....Now I do recall the Guv saying he likes a lean blonde !!!!
