Today took us on a little administrative adventure as we headed to Demarches Administratives to check out of France. Unsure of what to expect, the bus dropped us off near the commercial marina, right outside a building surrounded by barbed wire, which added a hint of apprehension. Fortunately, the process was quick and smooth; they stamped our passports, checked us out of France, and verified our ZappTax forms to receive the VAT back on items purchased for our trip.
With the formalities behind us, we enjoyed a lovely sunny day as we rode the bus back into the Old Towne, picked up some lunch, and took a leisurely stroll back to the boat. After a last-minute run to the grocery store for provisions, we tidied up and eagerly awaited the arrival of our good friends Amanda & Evan. The evening was perfect—catching up, making final plans for our sailing adventure, and sharing a delicious meal in the Old Towne, followed by glorious sunset views as we headed back to the boat the retire for the evening.
