back from vacation

finally and unfortunately my vacation is now over and i am back in the office.... - no further comments.
but let me sum up the vacation in a few words.
after a very, very busy day in the office on 18.8. with a lot of meetings and even more tasks that have to be fulfilled before leaving, i was done at round 2230 at night with the jobs stuff and also with packing my things - quite too many as i know now. on tuesday, 19th, we started our trip a bit later than planned at 0830. arriving a bit late in st. raphael at 1930 we searched for a camping-place realizing, that most of them are just full. so we took the first free space we found for the first night.
next day we continued to the place we've been 5 years ago - YES i found it ;) - got a place and settled there.
being quite lazy we stayed exactly on that slot during the next 12 days until we started back home on 30.8.
to sum up the 12 days:
  • lying in the sun on the campingplace's beach
  • visiting st. tropez (by boat), marseilles, grasse, aix en provence
  • driving round a lot (and a lot of traffic jams on the route nationale 98 = street directly on coastline)
  • having a lot of fun with eva *gg*
  • eating tons of baguettes, croissants, moule frites and not to forget all the crepes
  • meeting a jellyfish in the sea *damn*
  • went running in the morning for unbelieveable 4 times! (first time ever during a vacation ever)
  • resetting the medion navi for more than 25 times (but it lead us there and back and inbetween)
  • savoring 12 days of pure sun, no rain
  • ...
i could continue for a long time now, but whoever wants to know more or see some pictures -> just ask.
eva started her new job on 1.9. and i continued my vacation at home with frequent visits of the family doctor due to some problems with my shoulder and lake plesching to gain some more sun. and, what news, i found out, that just not having to work is quite relaxing, even at home. only eva was missing to make it close to perfect.
