... built in the 1st or 2nd Century and held 20,000. It was used for chariot races and gladiator fights and is still in use today during the bullfighting season. Very cool! Forgot to take a photo unfortunately.

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.

... and Rhone. Built in 90 AD it’s hard to imagine all the events that have taken place in this building. Walking around and around, I tried to imagine it filled with 20 000 screaming fans as gladiators ripped apart animals, but it was hard. From Medieval times to the 1830’s, it was bricked up and used as a fortified city. 212 housed and 2 churches made their home ...

... the Rhone. Narrow streets hung with lamps and strung with ivy still hold the same charm. All homes decorated with ancient shutters and worn doorways. How could one not want to paint?

Now I understand, what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they ...

... that flamingos were native to France, but they are! Brian thought they would have all migrated by now, but I was able to catch a glimpse of a few!

But finally we arrived. Taking the first side road we could that wasn’t waay out of the way we went directly to the water to sit ourselves down on the Med and have a picnic. Beautiful! And we had it all to ourselves with just a few locals going for their mid-day walk or run. Now ...

... BUT the info we got for the campsite was wrong and it was closed.. and the one next door too. So a rushed internet trip we found one, way out and got there just in time. France is full of red lights, roundabouts and pedestrian crossings!!!! Im SOOOOO over them all!!!!

Got to the campsite and there were no buses in town,. We were exhausted by then so fell into bed and decided to give up on that part of France and head to Lyon the next day...

... 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 ...

... to charge €4 for the night. Add the €3 for electricity and it makes for a very expensive connection. We are in the corner of this camp site, overlooking horses so I am in my element. It is also more sheltered from the cold wind. As in so many other camp sites at the moment, some of the facilities are locked, but at least they have a loo you can sit on! All is very rustic but very ...

... one of my favorite paintings. We only stayed here one night, which was about right, and were off to see another friend of Andrew's on the French Riviera. Since this is a short entry, I will also mention that I have been reading In Cold Blood by Truman Capote... I have finished it now. Its an excellent book and I recommend it to all. I'm now reading Reefer Madness, about black markets in America.

... I was born in a factory, maybe in China, maybe in Forcella (Napoli), I ignore it. I have been living the first months of my life in a box. We were a lot, all shining, but we couldn't know as there was no sun. Then, one day a voice came. It was always a different voice coming from far. This voice used to bring with her one of us. One says that going with that voice meant getting a kind of Nirvana, because, in that occasion we would have reached ...
