Mercure Pont D Avignon

... rain finally stopped after nearly a week so we were able to enjoy some out of Scooby time!<br> <br>Saturday 7 Nov<br>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!

... didn&#8217;t even really resist. They knew the status to being &#8217;Roman&#8217; and that it would bring them instant infrastructure, roads, money, etc. <br><br>But enough of all this Roman talk - we&#8217;re in France after all! Italy will come when we set sail tomorrow night. For now we&#8217;re dining on our last few snipits of cheese, provincial bread and aioli sauce.

... a painting. But instead of letting that get to me, I will sink myself into the paintings and see the world the way Vincent would have liked. <br><br> Colours changing hue. <br> Morning fields of amber red.<br> Weathered faces lined in pain<br> And soothed beneath the artist&#8217;s loving hand. <br><br>Envious of the painter&#8217;s ability to tweak ...

... stretch of road that wound it's way into the village we fell in love with... we walked on to find a doggie looking at us over a wall. The dogs owners (Roli) told us about a pub that had rooms, we went and had a look and decided this was the rustic provincial charm we had looked for all day :)&#8230;. just took us til 7:30 to find it! Had the most beautiful meal at a cafe, best meal of the trip, beef and beautiful potato. Yum. When the owners found out we had ...

... I were a little tipsy. I had the rather adventurous freshly caught unidentified grilled fish whereas Steve stuck to the meat theme and had the safe pork option. Then we were faced with three hours on an island in the rainy weather, rather drunk having to entertain ourselves - naturally we set about climbing trees! That was all going well until I broke my flipflops which were not really built for such terrain. Instead we stuck to the beach and started ...

... with a plastic tube, and if one pulls it out then the other cant breathe. they dont speak, just do tricks like juggling, knife throwing, playing music etc. wierd but FREE!!! We ended up complaing about the smell in our room and were upgraded to a room in the hotel area, which had a double bed and a set of bunks. It was a lot nicer!!! And didnt smell yay! By the end of the 2 days i was ready to leave, but Avignon was definately very beautiful.

... vision and also of great importance because it was the only bridge crossing the Rhone in the middle ages before a flood knocked most of it down. The nursery rhyme goes as follows: "On the bridge of Avignon, we will dance, we will dance, on the bridge of Avignon, we will dance all in a circle" Arriving mid-morning we found the YMCA on the other side of the Rhone River both collapsing on the twin beds. Totally exhausted from no sleep the night before, no a/c and ...

... is worth the visit if you are interested in the papacy. The building is nice but the inside is pretty empty. There are very few preserved tiles, frescoes, etc. The audioguide was cool though, it gave a lot of information about the different popes that resided there while there was a civil war at home. I really like South France. I ate crepes with Nutella every day for lunch, people are friendly, the prices seem really low. Next- Nice and the Australians.
