Bonsai Hotel Avignon

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 ...

... and Rhone. Built in 90 AD it’s hard to imagine all the events that have taken place in this building. Walking around and around, I tried to imagine it filled with 20 000 screaming fans as gladiators ripped apart animals, but it was hard. From Medieval times to the 1830’s, it was bricked up and used as a fortified city. 212 housed and 2 churches made their home ...

... the proprietor and my friend misunderstood what he said about our reservations. She corrected him and he got all snooty on her and told her something like, "Well if that´s the way you want to talk then we can do it that way" and proceeded to give her some attitude. We finally went to our room and I did my best to control my laughing at him. It was pretty ridiculous for a mere misunderstanding.<br><br>After getting our ...

... name the airline from the tail logo as the planes came in to Nice airport. Picked up the C3 and did some more of the mental hairpin mountain roads up to Eze and along to Monaco for a nice evening drive. Spent the night at a place perched perilously over a bay and had some very fine Prawns in Cognac. <br> <br>We capped off our week with a day in Monaco, the first new country of the tour!!!! It's a pretty wealthy place; saw Roger Moore having ...

... a gravel surface of the car park is not easy to push off its stand. Linda pushing me rocking the bike back and forward and trying to drop the clutch at the right time...sheer madness. We followed this fantastic road for 4 hours all the way to Avignon when thanks to our Tom Tom we found the hotel we had booked on Wotif the day before easily. It was off to the centre of Avignon and sight seeing in another fantastic city and the historic ...

... After the doctor visit we tasted some great wine and managed to afford a couple of bottles. Those bottles were perfect with our Thanksgiving dinner in Estepona (more on that later). The most that can be said about Provence is that we spent nowhere near enough time there because we had a schedule to keep- we were in route to the coast of Spain. Would love to visit again and give it the time it deserves.

Avignon was a trip to visit Mr. Pierre Scerri who built the 1/3 scale Ferrari 312PB race car model. check it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Sce rri we saw the Pope's other house and went to the country side with Pierre to drink wine and to talk about his car.
