Domaine de Cabasse Seguret

... rain finally stopped after nearly a week so we were able to enjoy some out of Scooby time!

Saturday 7 Nov
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 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 thatīs 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.

After getting our ...

found a great little town in Provence.. and as they say "when in Rome (Provence)"... we had a great meal in true french restaurant... happy to be away from tourist food... and had some very nice red wine........ just a stopover but a friendly little place and nice hotel...

... came down near us but we were lucky and just got debris on us. But enough whining about the weather.
Avignon is extremely beautiful and we have a lovely view at night of all the castle etc all lit up as we are camped on a sort of island in the Rhone. We arrived yesterday and explored the town and went to the Popes palace which is the best preserved castle of its age in France. We then ...

Finding the resto was a bit of a challenge, the 3 others (4 including the one we found out was closed on the website before ...

... synagogue and Lucy attempted to translate the broad-brush story of the history of the local Jewish population. There was an Arch here as well, but it was small, jammed up next to a church and not very impressive. The apothecary museum is here, but it was closed too. One thing we did enjoy was the covered marketplace which has a long, arched ceiling that lets in lots of light. Most of the shops were closed, but it was very pleasant to walk ...

... in Asian restaurants and we didn't feel that was very authentic (oh, and they wouldn't let us share - they tried to make us order a plate each, no thanks!) so we ended up at a little cafe ordering hamburgers..... which came out as a half-cooked mince meat patty thing.. quite unappealing. But doused in a whole lot of sauce they were edible and we were on our way to continue exploring Avignon (read: find an internet cafe to satisfy our facebook cravings ...

We started out the day by seeing La Palace des Papes in Avignon, which is where the pope was centered while exiled from Italy for a time. Vaison is a beautiful little French town, built in medieval Roman times (hence the name) and quite idyllic. Stone streets that continue up the walls into the buildings. A cute little market selling lavender, olive oil and cicada-festooned fabrics. While ...
