June 22 Gorge de Verdon

So little time left and so many things left to do.  We had such a great time canoeing to the Pont du Gard, we thought maybe we should do some more. We drove up to the lower gorge of the Verdon River and rented a canoe.  This part of the river is dammed for drinking water purposes making a flatwater route through the gorge.  We paddled about 8 km downstream to a lake then, after a swim, paddled back and Cindy has the blisters to prove it.  As always in Provence the sun was shining so there were quite a few others on the water, mainly in kayaks and electric powered boats (no fuel powered boats allowed). One more interesting thing, did you know that you can paddle a canoe topless wearing only a thong (no, not Cindy), pictures sent on request.  Here's a couple of shots from the canoeing.
