Fwd: St Croix near Martigues

The road from Arles to Martigues was more interesting than the the road
to Arles - there were some hills through heath land and some nice roads
lines with plane trees. Martigues itself (Venice of France apparently)
was quite pretty with a harbour and views over the Etang de Berre. We
bagged our first Col of the trip at a massive 122m high!! Arrived at our
chosen camp site to find the reception closed, tried another but it
didn't accept tents and so moved on to a third which was fine. Just
missed the local supermarket but fortunately had enough food for a
decent meal of steak, onions, mushrooms, green olives and cashew nuts on
rice. Had quite a lot of work to do in the evening and got to bed fairly
late.

Slightly cool feel this morning so hoping Corsica will be a bit warmer.
Just got 20 miles to do today followed by an overnight ferry to Ajaccio.
