Up early to make use of free Wifi - that is Kim watched the sunrise while sitting outside a closed café and scabbing their Wifi! We then we hightailed it out of Arles and towards Spain.

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’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 ...

And how you suffered for your sanity, and how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they’re not listening still.

... we were nearly blown to Marseille. Tomorrow we are going on a lunchtime cruise on the Rhone with more food and wine and before that visiting the famous bridge and hopefully we will have time to go over to see the nearby fort in the afternoon.

... and sent Gerda and Jan-Erik off to find some accommodation. They did really well, had found a hotel right in the centre, only minutes walking from where we were parked. 100.00 Euros for the 2 rooms. Nothing spectacular but perfectly adequate. We sat in the sun outside the hotel and had a drink and then found a nice place for dinner, I had a lovely Beef Carpaccio of starters, but the Salmon for my main was overdone. We were in bed around 10pm.
