Maeva Hotel Les Villages Du Soleil Arles

... 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.

Then we start the final run north - first a night at Beaujolais, then 2 nights at Strasbourg and one last night at Munich before we leave Big ...

... mine a variety of glaces including licorice, topped with finely shaved licorice. The waiter explained when we were ordering that the chef considered cooking to be an art, and in the manner of a painter, he arranged the food as though it was on a palette. Hence the name of the restaurant.

Narbonne
Our friend Susan Flintoff had recommended a restaurant in Narbonne, called Le Petit Comptoir that she and Brett had enjoyed last year ...

... jason's ass music with peaks and valleys no less that 10,000 feet above sea leave in the lowest valley. gosh he hid it well before moving in!

right, so i have noticed that you can rate these travel blogs, so pls do, we'd love to hear what u think. some knob (an englishism) seemed to rate us 2/5 stars, but i can only assume they are not one of our friends or family and they are not welcome to come back and read anymore!

... and visited one of three remaining Roman theaters in the world. It is 2,000 years old and has been to Hell and back, but it's still standing and people perform operas there. A statue of the Emperor looks out at the audience from the top to remind everyone who is in charge. We were told that his head is removable so that they didn't have to create a whole new statue every time power changed hands; just pop off the head and replace it. When ...

Believe me you don't want the story but here are a few photos and videos of what was a wonderful adventure for the most part.

The bull running was a random and free event - just next to lovely beach. Camargue horses are breathtakingly beautiful in the wild.

Unfortunately no photos of characterful and cultural city of Arles because only took the camera out one day - the day we went to The Camargue obviously.

... it would have been an amazing to experience we were content with the short walk back to the van after a few shandies.  The next day we decided to drive through the city again to see if we could park and look round a bit, we weren't to hopeful as parking seemed a nightmare and some of the suburbs looked quite rough. We decided to go later in the afternoon in the hope it might be a bit quieter and maybe just have a walk round a couple of the sights. Eventually we did find a ...

... stay with Heidi and Shaun that night in St Cannat so got on the road and pulled over at petrol station. Went to start again and it wouldnt start. Sat around for an hr trying to start but still wouldnt start, by this stage we had pretty much had enough, this was not fun anymore. Ended up having to push start it, me driving and Hayden pushing, took 3 goes on a very small slope but it ...

... and we are scheduled to eat at La Comedie on Thursday. We'll just have to wait and see. After class, Meredith and I went to see our exhibit for our photo project. Our "photographer" is Erik Kessels. I put photographer in quotations because he isn't a photographer at all but instead he puts together pictures of amateur photographers into an exhibit. The most shocking of the exhibit is the Weblogs section ...

... This one had sesame seed puree in it which was a different taste but a good taste. I met the Austrians that came to stay. Two ladies and a man who all speak English. It was really confusing when we were introduced because I didn't know what to speak, French or English. One lady knows French but the other is clueless. After dinner, I stayed in and had a relaxing night of homework and John Tucker Must Die on slingbox.

... qu'il était proche de Mélo depuis qu'ils sont à Rennes ; je n'ai jamais été si proche de Sarah, et c'est aussi cool qu'imprévu. En fait, le problème relevait probablement du fait qu'on était trois. En fin de soirée, en fait après que je me sois couché, il s'est déroulé un événement bizarre : les deux gars qui partagent ma chambre, des Mexicains, arrivent en faisant un bon boucan, mais il se couchent relativement vite. Aussitôt ou presque, l'un d'eux se met ...
