Ibis Avignon Centre Pont Europ

Plan was to stay in Avignon but when we arrived we decided it was too big for us and after driving around the outide of the ramparts of the old city walls - very cool and the main thing we wanted to see - we made our way onwards to Fontaine de Vaucluse which is 20kms past Avignon. We arrived just before dark and found an Aire de Service at the edge of town where settled in for 2 days. The town ...

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.

... art on the wall. All of the drawings and paintings were done by her sister. I like them very much and am impressed by her talent. Aida stocked the apartment with tea, milk, sugar and red wine. She somehow intuited my favorite tea and how I take it. This is a good omen, I am sure.<br><br>I was a little fried from jet lag and having no idea what people have been saying to me for most of the day, so I made some tea and ...

... his translation skills. As it happens the dish I had chosen said 'Wednesday' and as it was Saturday I think this would have caused further confusion with the waitress. Our hero moved us away from the daily specials part of the menu and asked what we thought we wanted. Bearing in mind from our tour we knew that some of the local delicacies included cow lung soup, pigs trotters and sausages so we asked for sausages! He tracked down 'wurstl' on the menu for ...

... we had a problem. Now that the wine is open, what could we do but drink it with dinner? So we had a nice pinot noir with our dinner. Did I mention already that we had bought the wine package along with the cruise? For $115 pp, $230 total, we got the privilege of drinking all the house wine we wanted with dinner. After trying all the house wines, we actually didn't want any of it. And for the price we paid, we ...

... semi-hard cheese I couldn't identify for sure, all washed down with a half bottle of 2003 Chateau de la Gardine, Chateauneuf-du-Pape (the regional varietal here), which was spectacular. So much so that I tried to book a day trip to the Chateauneuf region the next day (Monday), but they didn't have any tours leaving again until Thursday. In any case, as I sat finishing my cheese, I began to ponder a question that had come to me earlier in the day. When, exactly, did they begin ...
