Ep.43 Exploring the French Riviera. From Monaco to Italy during high season by sailboat

*Travel adventure: From the French Riviera to Monaco and Italy - by sailboat*

Charlotte, Chento and Gio are safely back in Belgium after an adventure along the sun-drenched French Riviera. We are still in the charming village of Sainte-Raphael where preparations for the annual Sainte-Pierre festival are in full swing. The streets will be filled with music, dancing and the smell of local delicacies, but unfortunately we cannot stay. The berth of our boat has already been reserved for someone else. It is a lesson in travel: you can't see and experience everything, but it makes the adventures you do have all the more special.

*Monaco: The almost smallest country, big experiences!*

Next, we go to the second smallest country in the world, **Monaco**. This glamorous principality is world famous for its tax haven, luxury yachts and the iconic **Casino de Monte-Carlo**. Of course, there are also the spectacular Formula 1 races that race through the streets every year. Monaco exudes luxury and adrenaline and it is hard not to be swept away by the beauty of this world-famous destination.

*From Monaco to Italy: beautiful anchorages but sometimes difficult people on land*

After Monaco we set course for Italy, but not without an unexpected encounter. When we want to go ashore with our dinghy in a quiet bay, we come across one of the most unfriendly harbour masters in the region. Fortunately, we do not let this put us off and choose to go our own way. Adventurous travellers do not let anything stop them!

*In search of the perfect marina in the high season*

A new challenge comes from Belgium. We have been asked to help start up a new company, but for that we have to find a suitable marina where we can leave our boat for a few weeks. However, this turns out to be easier said than done, especially in the busy **high season**. The search for the perfect marina will be an adventure in itself, with various challenges that will test our patience. But as always, we remain optimistic.

The journey is far from over and undoubtedly new surprises and unforgettable experiences await us. The adventure continues and we can't wait to share the next chapters with you!
