At first sight of the cycle path today, you would never even know what season it is… it looks sunny and warm, right?
Ha, wrong! Don’t let that sunshine fool you, the temperature was somewhere between 0C and 2C (thats 32F and 35F for Americans!) not counting the wind chill factor, and yesterday’s weather was still on the ground. Yes, an extremely unusual sight for two Aussies still fascinated by this lovely white stuff – snow on the beach. The beach!! I’ve spent half my life on beaches but have never seen one looking like this.
Here are our views from today’s ride along the voie vert between Sete and Marseillan Ville & back, past the (now closed for winter) Castella’s campsite right on the beach…
Enjoy!
and finally, I need a balaclava like TCs – my face was frozen!
Thank you for doing the degree conversion for me. Haha! I would have worn probably 5 parkas. Haha
the wind chill factor made it feel even colder – thank goodness they know how to make warm cycling clothes!
Hmmm – snow on the beach would seem really weird. I’m not quite sure how many winters I could like through, considering Adelaide’s winters are no where near as cold. Lovely pics though 🙂
It was very weird to us. I couldn’t stop taking pics 🙂 Our region has fabulous summers to compensate though.
Of course, living in southern France you would get wonderful summers *green with envy* 😉
yes, I am very much looking forward to this summer. Also because we have lots of festivals and activities to look forward to, along with the weather 🙂
Great photos! Stay warm!
Thanks! 2 layers of thermal lycra (under the jacket) kept me warm – except my face, lol 😀
