Hotel des Croisades Aigues-Mortes

... bit grotty and run down and a bit poor… that does not normally put us off though so not sure what was wrong. The town was under going a fair bit of renovation and rejuvenation work and has a hell of a lot of potential as great place to visit…so perhaps in 5 years that is exactly what it will be. We went for a wander and found the amphitheatre which was like a mini coliseum in the center of town. It ...

Hello, I'm french and I come to Palangkaraya January 25 until February
20 with a friend. We are looking to rent a house with 2 rooms and not too far from
downtown.

Halo, saya orang prancis dan saya datang ke

Thank you for your help. Terima kasih.

Wait a minute, we’re not traveling to Italy until tomorrow…but we spent the day in Arles exploring Roman architecture.

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 ...

... was home to Van Gogh’s most famous time of painting from 1888-1890.

Shadows on the hills.
Sketch the trees and daffodils.
Catch the breeze and winter chills.
In colours on the snowy linen land.

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 ...

... huile’ with olive trees scattered around. A strain of bamboo is growing everywhere and cactus’s are making an appearance on the horizon.

Heading as far south as we could we were actually riding along various land bridges with ‘etangs’ (sorry, cannot do the accents. These are little areas of trapped water were lots of wildlife live). The most unique of all creatures that live here are Flamingos! Never had I ...

What a waste of a day...

Go to Nimes and the national parks people said..... we ended up at a campsite way out of Montpellier and the highlight of our day had been the supermarket!!!!

The national park was lots of farm type marsh land... not what we had imagined. Nimes seemed pretty and lots of well preserved Roman things but the traffic was a nightmare and too hard to park so we kept driving with a plan to go out in Montpellier that ...

... mine a variety of glaces including licorice, topped with finely shaved licorice. The waiter explained when we were ordering that the chef considered cooking to be an art, and in the manner of a painter, he arranged the food as though it was on a palette. Hence the name of the restaurant.

Our friend Susan Flintoff had recommended a restaurant in Narbonne, called Le Petit Comptoir that she and Brett had enjoyed last year ...

... We only saw occasional glimpses of the sun, and according to the proprietor of tonight's camp site, tomorrow is set to be no better. We are staying at L'Oliviers, a 3* camp site at Junas, which is halfway between Montpelier and Nimes. There is another site in the village, which we checked out first - Les Chenes - which is 2* but only slightly cheaper. It had the advantage of internet access but ...

... the city itself is cool, though not much unlike most other cities in Southern France. I should mention that while I write this there are 2 Van Gogh paintings hanging on the wall above my monitor...Cafe la Nuit and Starry Night. Cafe la Nuit is actually a cafe in Arles and we visited it and I took a picture etc. Many of Van Goghs paintings are of real places in Arles. Starry Night is ...

... mi fece sentire l'odore della Guinness, il mio caffé fu sorseggiato sulle rive del Liffey, mi presentó amici di tutto il mondo. Dopo mi portó a Montpellier e li é stato bellissimo. Il mare, il caldo, cose bellissime peró poi ho cominciato ad annoiarmi. Si, faccio la caffettiera, é vero, peró commenti come: "Ah che bellu café" non mi bastavano piú. Avevo bisogno di viaggiare. Avevo visto qualcosa del mondo, peró volevo di piú. E sono scappata ...
