Coté vacances - la Grêce vue du Club Mediterrannée - Holidays in GREECE

Bonjour à tous / Hi everybody,

Very difficult to feed a blog during Summer.

Following a very very wet, grey, cold Spring, 

we decided to go to Greece for Summer holiday.

And chose the CLUB MEDITERANEE 

as a way of spending the 2 weeks the "Boss of the castle" gets from work .

 He wanted something you cannot be disappointed with.

Direction GREGOLIMANO 

on the Island of Evia (Greece)

It was our 2nde time we chose the Club. 

I was not very enthusiastic.

 I am not a Club fan, but I have to say it was fantastic. 

1 - The place was surrounded by water and mountains ... So exclusive place. 

No jet ski, no boats, just us and the sailing boats from the club, or from the ski nautique. 

From Athen, you take a luxury bus for  2,5 hours and a boat for 30 minutes which is very nice. 

                                           Cocktail on the Pier one evening

                                                                  Clear warm water

                                                                  Shades for the afternoon rests.

2 - Activities - Sports : Everything is just here for you : tennis courts, archery, waterskiing, sailing, catamaran, flying trapeze, fitness, beach volleyball, spa, swimming poo, petanque, sportive walk, jogging... all with the lovely assistance of the G.O (Gentil Organisateur / Nice Tutors). 

                                                  Pauline and his dad at the waterskiing

Archery 

                                                            Demonstaration of trapeze

                                                                   Snorkling from a boat  -

Phoque

Tennis 

3 - Food - It's all inclusive. You do not have to hand money for your food (4 meals/day or more with gouters, aperititves), your drinks all day long and night (wine, alcohol ...). It was paid with the booking. 

                                     Once a week, white evening on the beach ... Gorgeous !

Very professional ...

                                                               

4 - Lots of funny dances, it's dance time all day long and everybody dance, even us ...

5 - Exploring the outside Club. 

Visiting the village of St Georges .

Fisherman killing an octopus ... for sale later . 

Everything has an END. 

All the team saying goodbye !

               The luggage on one boat and ..................................................     the tourists on another one !

                                  

Have you been with Club Med already ?  

Did you like it ? 

Lots of love

C'est l'été, le soleil, les vacances et ... le golf

Hi !

Golf is like when I was working for Christian Dior, 

I feel like "posh" or "snob", but the thing is : 

I am not.

I just started golf when I was 30 years old, 

bachelor, working @Dior, 

and I decided to go to "Iles Caraîbes" with U.C.P.A.

http://www.ucpa-vacances.com

UCPA (Union des Centres Sportifs de Plein Air) is a non-profit French organization that makes outdoor sports holidays available for people of ages 7–39. Formed in 1965, it is a union of government bodies, sports federations and youth associations. About 250,000 people travel with UCPA annually.

UCPA has three areas of operation:

• sports holidays
• recreation sports outreach
• vocational training for careers in sport

UCPA is mainly located in France, but is also present in some fifty countries around the world.

I first registered,

 to do some kite-surf but once arrived, 

I told them I was not a good swimmer at all. 

So I swap with another girl and decided to go for golf instead. 

I ... just.... loved it. 

I knew nothing about golf. 

I, even put, my club in the opposite side to play !!! 

But, I played full day for 2 weeks there and came back, bought 

a set of clubs, a car (Mini Rover) to play around Paris every W.E. 

I was in love with golf...

And ... 

I met my husband through golf as well !

Very funny. 

Anyway, life went on, with 3 children, and we put golf on side for few years.

But, since our  last "piou-piou" is 10 years, we started to play again.

And I have to play more, and more, 

to have fun when I play

 and trust me, it is not

that easy. 

But I still like it and try to follow my boys 

to share that nice sport.

It is a very pleasant environment, but also a good way to learn 

the patience, and how to control yourself. 

Lost ball already ? Bad luck .

We are pleased as we found 

a nice family Golf Course nearby.

And we can enjoy more.

Golf is also about spending time

with your children, friends, colleagues,etc... 

in a peaceful environment. It is very refreshing. 

You do not need to have the exact same level. That is important too. 

To play 9 holes, you are doing exercise for 1h 30 / 2h and 4 hours for 18 holes.

So... if you have the opportunity to play during holidays

Just have a go, 

You can love it !

Have a nice summer !
