I`m taking my Explorer exploring

Well I`m off to France for a weeks holiday. After much debating I`ve decided that I`ll take the Explorer with me on vacation. It`s low key, comfortable and is the best choice when exploring a new country
The biggest challenge will be living without internet connection for a week! Thus being without this great forum for a week!
Oh, well. I`ll just have to take comfort in the 30+degrees celcius and the cold beer
I`ve packed my camerabag full, so I`ll be sure to bring back some photos of me erm...Exploring stuff
So long guys and girls, I`ll miss you all!




Strapped on and ready for action



-Ram

Safe travels man

Enjoy the French hospitality, the food, wine, beer and the weather.

The Explorer is a great travelling watch that's for sure.

Looking forward to some of your great photos upon your return.

I`m taking my Explorer exploring-Part 2

Well I made it back in one piece as did my camera equipment and ofcourse the Explorer
I had a blast and coming from a rainy 10 degrees celcius here in Norway to the 30 degrees celcius of Provence, made my pale and battered Norwegian body feel new again!

Although we ordered a cabriolet, this was not excactly what I had in mind



I was still excited though, and it didn`t take long before I spotted the first Rolex AD, I guess Rolex AD`s are a bit different abroad...



Err...Moving on.
Ah, the peacefulle village of Cotignac







I needed to cool down, but with these tempratures not even the icecream man could take it.



I guess a couple of these wont hurt



Feeling rejuvinated from the biere (That would be french for beer, I picked up some french too..) I headed onwards and upwards!



Ah, now we are talking!





A new day, New adventures



I eat danger for breakfast



It`s still hot, need to cool down. What`s behind this?



Perfect




On the way back I spotted a whole field of Bonzai trees...The French are weird.



Ah, the safety of the village



Village by night





Time for some wine



I got the small barrel since I`m only staying a week



Thanks for looking!

That waterfall with pools looks very inviting.

Looks like you had a great time. I can't work out if that Rolex sign was a photoshop addition or was real
