Etap Hotel Cavaillon

... 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! <br><br>The town itself is nestled in a valley and is particularly pretty at dusk when rocks take on the colours of the sunset ...

... English in the entire town. We found our hostel super late at night (and they don't make hostels in France like they did in Spain... no more free internet!). The next morning, we walked into town not really knowing what to see or do. But as we were looking for a quick Petit Dejuner (breakfast) we stumbled upon the Saturday market. We sat at a cafe on the square and had the most amazing breakfast 5 euro can buy if you ...

... 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 ...

... was home to Van Gogh&#8217;s most famous time of painting from 1888-1890. <br><br> Shadows on the hills. <br> Sketch the trees and daffodils. <br> Catch the breeze and winter chills.<br> In colours on the snowy linen land. <br><br>I was just thrilled to be in the same place that inspired this painter. To know that I was beneath that same starry starry sky ...

We got to sleep in today and after breakfast headed to the train station to catch a train to Avignon where we were going to meet up with some other friends. Enroute to the train station I realized I had left my sunglasses at the hotel (hence why I purchase cheap ones and thankfully have numerous pairs back home). There was no time to turn around so we continued on in spite of this revelation. When we arrived at the train ...

... present was some cereal and kidney beans from Amy...we're waiting to experience her famous chilli con carne (hint hint). However, the French don't really 'do' birthday cakes in the same way that we do, so, instead of spending 15&#8364; on an admitttedly beautiful patisserie cake, we've been sticking candles in madeleines and such like, so not all of our birthday traditions are lost!<br><br>As well as some of this quite blatant indulgement, we've also been immersing ...

Curse the Mistral - it has been blowing for 3 days non stop and it is gale force and freezing cold. It appears to have abated slightly this afternoon and our local guide informed us that it stops after either 3 days, 6 days or 9 days so we are hopeful. Last night it ws like sleeping under a jet ready for take off all night. Poor Big Mama got rocked around and it takes a lot to move her. A big ...

... set up display their goods for the best view, great time to take pics. The early bus, and consequently no breakfast is good too: all the cheese, jam, olive, sausage samples that the vendors enthusiastically hand out will taste even better with an empty stomach, and you have apetite for more:) St Remy has a Van Gogh residence now converted to boutiques, and over all the town is pictureque, but I will always remember it for the delicous produces -intensely flavored ...
