Kyriad Avignon

... over 1.5 million tourists each year as it is the source of a natural spring. It's wierd seeing a fast flowing river and then walking 50 metres "upstream" and there only being a trickle.. and then a bit further and no water... nothing but a big cliff straight up! <br><br>The town itself is nestled in a valley and is particularly pretty at dusk when rocks take on the colours of the sunset ...

... than the amphitheater, it was a semi-circular shape and only seated 10 000. Not much remains but 2 columns, 6 bits of columns, and piles and piles of rubble with fantastic carvings on them. It&#8217;s amazing to think of a nation who worked so ***********quer other lands. And not just conquer, but build amazing structures, theaters, coliseums, walls, and aqua-ducts. And other ...

The brides were beautiful and there were some interesting hats in the crowd.<br><br>One of my goals for the outing was to see if I could lay my eyes on the train station I will use for the return. It's right outside the gate to the city, so it was pretty easy to find. I can walk there easily ...

... began pouring out of the sky. At least in Avignon the rain was warm, here in the mountain air it was freezing. Of course because we were not staying any nights in Saltzberg we had no accommodation so it was a case of putting our backpacks in lockers at the station and accepting that we were homeless travellers in the rain for the day. Both Steve and I are quite hardy travellers now but even with this taken into consideration it was fair to say that the ...

The tour groups all leave together, but we independents all 7 of us, have our individual scheduled departure times.

The Pope. In 1309 Pope Clement V fled political turmoil in Rome and for nearly 70 years 7 french born Popes called Avignon home. All of them managed to invest fortunes in building, expanding, and ...

... me up on stage to sing with them (they had asked where I was from earlier when making my request). Let's see a beer that afternoon, one more before dinner, half a bottle of wine, two more beers after dinner - "Sure I'll sing with you!" As I recall, it was a rousing success. Soon after that I finished my beer and navigated the little alleyways back to my lodgings. It was a good night.
