Constantin Arles

... rain finally stopped after nearly a week so we were able to enjoy some out of Scooby time!<br> <br>Saturday 7 Nov<br>Forecasted for rain today but it held off until late afternoon which gave me time to replace the washer in the gear box and for Kim to go for a run, which she was hankering for as she had been getting a little cabin fever of late due to the rain and lack of exercise/time outside!

... didn&#8217;t even really resist. They knew the status to being &#8217;Roman&#8217; and that it would bring them instant infrastructure, roads, money, etc. <br><br>But enough of all this Roman talk - we&#8217;re in France after all! Italy will come when we set sail tomorrow night. For now we&#8217;re dining on our last few snipits of cheese, provincial bread and aioli sauce.

... a painting. But instead of letting that get to me, I will sink myself into the paintings and see the world the way Vincent would have liked. <br><br> Colours changing hue. <br> Morning fields of amber red.<br> Weathered faces lined in pain<br> And soothed beneath the artist&#8217;s loving hand. <br><br>Envious of the painter&#8217;s ability to tweak ...

... we were nearly blown to Marseille. Tomorrow we are going on a lunchtime cruise on the Rhone with more food and wine and before that visiting the famous bridge and hopefully we will have time to go over to see the nearby fort in the afternoon. <br><br>Then we start the final run north - first a night at Beaujolais, then 2 nights at Strasbourg and one last night at Munich before we leave Big ...

... incidents. Arrived in Arles and walked to the hotel. Nice 2 star next to the Amphitheater. The old town of Arles is compact and many sites are very close by. Arles is known for 2 things, Roman rule and Vincent Van Gogh. A mini Rome Colosseum is the highlight. It is in good repair and today will seat 20,000 for bullfights. Most bullfights are bloodless, but they occasionally hold the good old blood and gore fights ...

... seed puree in and it was pretty good. I found these strange oriental things in the freezer so I steamed them. They were ok, but I think my rice was better. I planned on eating and watching some TV on Slingbox but les parents called. I guess it was kind of like eating with them at the table...maybe not...I stayed up a bit watching my all time favorite, Law and Order and then went to bed.

... we were good to go. We went back to the hotel and changed for the little trip. We got on the bus and drove for about 20 minutes until we were in the Alpilles. The Alpilles is a southern French countryside with little mountains and farmland. We went to a man's house that was amazing. He had a great house, with a patio area. There was another patio that was covered by a roof. There was an open pool house and a pool. Apprently he is the ...

First morning in Arles - Nice breakfast offering in the hotel. The hotel is right next to the coliseum - 40 steps at most. Perfect location. Sight seeing today. Did the market and was truely great. One stand was only sausages and there must have been 40 kinds - the vendor let us sample 5 or 6 and were great. Brother and sister-in-law having trouble finding a cash machine that works for them so we are doing most of the ...
