Hotel Regina 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!

... 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.

... structures.<br><br>We then went over to Avignon for a tour of the Palais du Papes (Palace of the Popes). There were 9 popes who presided over Christendom from Avignon, when there was significant civil unrest that prompted them to move to Avignon. The tour was of the Palace of the Popes, where the popes lived and worked during this time. I've uploaded a few pictures here of what we saw.<br><br>Apparently while ...

I have to admit that three weeks have passed since I started writing, I hope that in the interim time my memory hasn't faded too much and I haven't deprived you of any interesting stories or humorous moments but then I could always issue volume 2 if necessary at a later date. / Much love, Amy

... Et non, ils ne dansaient pas sur le pont. Il est d.ailleurs trop etroit pour que l,on puisse y danser en rond. Toutefois, il parait que l.on dansait sous les arches du pont sur l.ile de Barthelas. Une partie du pont a ete detruite au 17e siecle par la crue des eaux. Ensuite, nous avons fait le tour des artisans et des bouteilleries, boutiques specialisees en vin, ou nous ...

It was an entertaining day filled with many tourists and enjoyable people watching. We finished off our evening with a ride on the Ferris wheel outside the city wall, near the river.

... any idea what kind of amount will be charged. And the amount varied widely! Our friend had told us Avignon was dull and way too touristy, but we had a very different experience. Unless we're way more mainstream than we thought (not too likely). We really enjoyed the town, and if you haven't been in one of these medieval walled towns before, I'd think this would be a great one to start in. People were very friendly, and ...
