As we now needed to be in Barcelona in 5 days to meet Kim's mum it was time to say goodbye to Italy. As the day was overcast and the drive on the autopista easy we just kept on driving (from 8am until 5.30pm) and arrived into Les Acrs in France time for a beer and dinner then bed.

As we had stayed in a free Aire last night we were able to top up water, clean the toilet and then give Scooby ...
... over 1.5 million tourists each year as it is the source of a natural spring. It's wierd seeing a fast flowing river and then walking 50 metres "upstream" and there only being a trickle.. and then a bit further and no water... nothing but a big cliff straight up!
The town itself is nestled in a valley and is particularly pretty at dusk when rocks take on the colours of the sunset ...
Wait a minute, we’re not traveling to Italy until tomorrow…but we spent the day in Arles exploring Roman architecture.
The biggest site in town is the amphitheatre, or coliseum. Glimpses through different side streets pull you even closer like the hub it has always been. Huge in scale, some seating is till original and large towers give sweeping views of the ...
... I’ve seen in Arles, Vincent had it just right!
For they could not love you, but still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside on that starry, starry, night
You took your life as lover often do.
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
Like the ...
... also a player in this dish. I tried Lucy's salmon and it was excellent. The mousse spread on bread was particularly good.
For her main course Lucy had sea bream filets and scallops on fish mousse, cardomon flavor and Norway lobster cream. I had tartiflette with fresh salmon, reblochon cheese and potatoes. It came in a little ceramic pot, rather like a classic French onion soup with the cheese melted on top. It was ...
... sunset it was a lovely day and we prepared for an early morning train to take us to Geneva. We got on the empty train at 5.30am and spread out on a set of 6 chairs with our bags and promptly fell asleep. We then woke up at approximately 8am surrounded by hoards of angry commuters all crowded in the aisles cursing us in numerous languages, not a warm welcome to Switzerland! First port of call on arrival was to find some accommodation which came in the ...
Avignon, Provence, France samsonite32Suntem in Avignon, e pe inserat, dar totusi lumina. Trecem pe langa Palatul Papilor inspre centrul turistic din fata palatului. Multa lume, turisti, spectacole de strada la tot pasul! In rest, as usual :): terase, boutiques, fantani arteziene, balcoane cu flori si obloane, fatade medievale, etc. Ne plimbam pana obosim, urmand indicatoarele spre repere turistice. Vedem si celebrul pod, am vrea sa intram in Palatul Papilor ...
Avignon, Provence, France _mqqm_... Avignon is famous for a bridge (or "pont" in French), a theater festival and being the home of the Pope for several centuries. You might have sung the nursery rhyme, something about the Pont du Avignon. Although the rhyme sings about dancing on the bridge, this never happened. It was more likely the song is referring to the parties held under the arches of the bridge. Avignon was also the site of the papacy for a few hundred years when the Pope ...
Avignon, France beyond... outside the kitchens on the perimeter. We needed to make phone calls but had discovered earlier that French phones do not take cash. So we set of in search of a phone card. We purchased one in a tabac down a busy shopping street off the square. Now for lunch. We sat ourselves down at one of those tables and enjoyed an enormous salad with smoked ham and an omelette with ham and cheese. Very nice too. There seemed to be no phones in the square so we had to retrace our ...
