Hameau Champfleury Avignon

22nd
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 ...

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

Saturday 7 Nov

... ones.  Nice little town, and like all the rest, the church is right in the middle.  This one though is a little different, because for about 50 years (dont hold me to that number), it was the Vatican, until it was moved back to Rome.  I was dying for a Crepe with Nutella, one of new favorite deserts and I paid a steep price for one the town square.  Some pics follow.....

... habitantes, ruínas medievais e sítio arqueológico." Dirigimos até lá, a cidade fica bem no alto e realmente é uma graça, só tinha turistas e não sei onde é que moram essas 50 pessoas :) Foi uma ótima dica, valeu mesmo a pena. Depois voltamos para Avignon e fomos procurar a casa dos primeiros CouchSurfers com quem me hopedei: Melissa e Yannig, eles moram com o irmão de Melissa num apê dentro da parte histórica de Avignon ...

it took us quite awhile to get to Avignon. after a train connection on the border of Spain and France (they actually checked out passport!) we finally got to Avignon around 7:30 P.M. the first train along the Spanish coast was beautiful but i slept most of the second train since i didn't get much sleep the night before.
