Up early to make use of free Wifi - that is Kim watched the sunrise while sitting outside a closed café and scabbing their Wifi! We then we hightailed it out of Arles and towards Spain.

Plan was to stay in Avignon but when we arrived we decided it was too big for us and after driving around the outide of the ramparts of the old city walls - very cool and the main thing we wanted to see - we made our way onwards to Fontaine de Vaucluse which is 20kms past Avignon. We arrived just before dark and found an Aire de Service at the edge of town where settled in for 2 days. The town ...

Wait a minute, we’re not traveling to Italy until tomorrow…but we spent the day in Arles exploring Roman architecture.

Perhaps they’ll listen now.

But what a sad story of a man impassioned by his art, yet rejected by all around him. To the point where only his brother befriended and supported him. Only selling 2 paintings during a lifetime, and even those that are given away ended up on hen-house doors and shot up by young passersby ...

More news soon but not sure where from - it may not be until Bintan.

REMINDER: Leave your American Express at home when traveling to France. On the other hand ...

... while on the bus to Orange. The first was when we came upon a construction site. One side of the street was being repaved and so the bus driver pulled into the oncoming traffic lane to get through. As we proceeded down the road cars began to come toward us. With no where to go we sat there staring at the cars facing us and the bus driver throwing his hands in the air not being able to back up because of all the cars behind us. Well, now what? Finally, after some ...
