Hotel Du Lavarin Avignon

... 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!

Wait a minute, we&#8217;re not traveling to Italy until tomorrow&#8230;but we spent the day in Arles exploring Roman architecture. <br><br>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&#8217;ve seen in Arles, Vincent had it just right!<br><br> For they could not love you, but still your love was true <br> And when no hope was left inside on that starry, starry, night <br> You took your life as lover often do. <br> But I could have told you, Vincent<br> This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you<br><br> Like the ...

... people for a cab. And waited. And waited. Finally, we got sick of waiting and I took the hotel directions over to a bus driver and via a short game of charades, got him to determine if his bus would get us to our destination. He indicated it would with a short walk, so we hopped on the bus and rode it into town. Our hótel was about a 7 minute walk from the bus stop and we entered to check in. We introduced ourselves ...

If Jie was half way there from the tasting, the bottle we took home finished her off.   <br>Spent thursday morning in the Nice flower market (not as rubbish as it sounds - it's mostly food) and generally exploring the old town in the glorious sun before sitting on the beach throwing stones in the sea and seeing who ...

... drop and no rail more squeezing.....I like this road. We stopped at a small café high in the hills and I got a lesson in French...... for the last week or so I had been getting by on café latte and expresso,, not so here it's a café au lait and café noir grande. Still enjoyable all the same then came the fun bit trying to get the bike off the centre stand I had made the mistake of parking on a slope facing uphill, one very heavy bike ...

We used Avignon as the jumping off point for a journey through the Provence wine region. This whole area was as beautiful as everyone had told us. We rented a car for 1 day and drove through Chateauneuf du Pape. It was a pretty great day aside from having to visit a dentist for Joel. We won't go into any detail but will say that despite the language barrier the good doctor took great care of his surprise ...

... Nice was fantastic, the boats, the water and of course it is the Cannes Film Festival so the place is buzzing. I'm having a fantastic time. The group is great. We all get on really well. We are off to Monarco tomorrow for the day (to see how the beautiful people live). Will write again soon. Hope everyone is having fun!!
