Barcelona to Paris & the lavender fields in-between.
Late June is a wonderful time to arrive in Europe… warm days, lavender fields in bloom, and that intoxicating hum of summer travel. After a whirlwind 48 hours in Spain, we hopped on the high-speed train to the south of France. In just 4 hours, we arrived in Arles and made our way to the AmaKristina, our homebase for the next 7 days while we sailed the Rhône with AmaWaterways.
This hotel has the best view in the Caribbean.
I was expecting to be amazed at Jade Mountain, but words and photos don’t do it justice. No telephones, no televisions, no clocks. The silence is a luxury in itself, you are removed from the outside world in the best possible way. From it’s position on the hillside, you can almost touch the clouds. There’s just breeze, birds, and the sound of waves below.
