... well deserved wash. It took some scrubbing to get 5 weeks worth of dirt off him but he sparkled once we were done :)
Another longish drive got us to Arles where the plan was to stay for 2 nights as it was home to van Gogh and lots of Roman ruins. We got a good park on the Rhone River just outside the city walls but the city itself made us feel a little uneasy and something was not quite right. The place was ...

... rain finally stopped after nearly a week so we were able to enjoy some out of Scooby time!

Saturday 7 Nov
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 old stone replaced like this. But if it wasn’t done, there would be nothing left to see! Also, who’s to say what is ‘original’ and what is not after so long a time. For a building as old as this, I believe a few renovations have taken place over the years!

Just down the street was the Theater Antique, or Classical Theater. A century ...

... that you’ve met.
The ragged man in ragged clothes.
The silver thorn, the bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

But instead of letting me get down, I will seek out more ancient places and dine in a tucked away jardin savoring the unique tastes of the area, and enjoy the skillful provencal cuisine as I gaze upon the ...

... and get the plane to Singapore. We should be sleeping in a hotel bed this time next week at Bintan Island and while this has been a fantastic trip I will be glad of a bigger bed and some luxuries.

More news soon but not sure where from - it may not be until Bintan.

... was on our route to Spain, so we decided to make a minor detour from the motorway and go there for lunch. We didn’t leave Nimes till well after midday; - it was a beautiful day after the thunderstorm of the night before, so we were exploring the old town, and the Roman Arena.

It always takes a while to find a location in a new town, so by the time we arrived outside Le Petit Comptoir (yes outside – after circling ...

... around the corner. The town of Tarascon is larger than we thought and is more of a commercial than tourist town but it has a lovely boulevard flanked by huge plane trees just coming into leaf. Sunday 20 April Today we explored the town of Tarascon which has a new area and a more interesting historic area which contains the town hall, chateau and church. We crossed the bridge over the Rhone River to have a look at the neighbouring town of ...

... the standard market foods to housewares and clothes. After depositing our purchases at the gite, we headed to Tarascon to look for a church I wanted to photograph. We checked out the two churches in the village but couldn't find "it" so Nancy thought we should go across the river to Beaucaire, its twin village.
