... 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!

... the security of this fortress. Brian scoped out several indents where floor beams had been inserted, and hinges for doors had been drilled, as well as a fireplace opening. After the 1830&#8217;s it&#8217;s been used for local bull-fights and has been undergoing extensive renovations. Sandblasters pierced our ears and evidence of new stone was everywhere. Part of me was sad to ...

... to wander around this town ad see the exact places that are pictured in famous works. It&#8217;s amazing how much closer you can feel to a person just knowing you&#8217;ve been to the same places. But of course, 120 years later things have changed. Buildings are gone, skylines have changed, and 20th century influence is everywhere! Not quite as romantic ...

... 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 ...

... hilltop village all grey & blue, also very pretty - another official "most beautiful village of France!" Village developed around the fortified castle, lovely square & fountain the setting of the cafe in Russelll Crowe film "A Good Year". Saint Firmin church wedged in between other buildings, colourful interior. Drove through town of St Remy de Provence - avenues of plane trees, Roman ruins on edge of ...

... up and over headlands and down into canyons but man, was it worth it. This stretch is a cyclists wet dream. Sinuous coastal highway wrapping around rocky promontories, pine forest, mountainous backdrop, picture perfect Spanish towns tucked into tight canyons and magnificent sea vistas. I met an interesting fellow cycle tourist on this stretch. I passed by him walking his bike into town and wondered what his deal was. He caught up with me as I sat drinking a coke outside the ...

... were once garrisoned there, mostly *****ing about not having enough food. Also, if you want a good time apparently you can call Helen by sending pidgeon 5. At some point the river decided to move and after that the fort wasn't very useful anymore. We also checked out the Pont du Gard, which is the highest aqueduct ever built across a river by the Romans and it is quite impressive, with three arches built on top of each other ...

... station so we would not have to lug our stuff very far. Since we arrived in the morning and our room was not ready until the afternoon, we dropped off our stuff behind the reception desk and headed for town. We had a nice full Irish breakfast at an Irish Pub. It was good to get a real breakfast after eating French breakfasts for most of the trip. For breakfast the French only seem to eat a small white baguette with butter and jam, a muffin or ...
