Moulin de la Roque Althen-des-Paluds

22nd
As we now needed to be in Barcelona in 5 days to meet Kim's mum it was time to say goodbye to Italy. As the day was overcast and the drive on the autopista easy we just kept on driving (from 8am until 5.30pm) and arrived into Les Acrs in France time for a beer and dinner then bed.

As we had stayed in a free Aire last night we were able to top up water, clean the toilet and then give Scooby ...

... over 1.5 million tourists each year as it is the source of a natural spring. It's wierd seeing a fast flowing river and then walking 50 metres "upstream" and there only being a trickle.. and then a bit further and no water... nothing but a big cliff straight up!

The town itself is nestled in a valley and is particularly pretty at dusk when rocks take on the colours of the sunset ...

... the security of this fortress. Brian scoped out several indents where floor beams had been inserted, and hinges for doors had been drilled, as well as a fireplace opening. After the 1830’s it’s been used for local bull-fights and has been undergoing extensive renovations. Sandblasters pierced our ears and evidence of new stone was everywhere. Part of me was sad to ...

... was home to Van Gogh’s most famous time of painting from 1888-1890.

Shadows on the hills.
Sketch the trees and daffodils.
Catch the breeze and winter chills.
In colours on the snowy linen land.

I was just thrilled to be in the same place that inspired this painter. To know that I was beneath that same starry starry sky ...

... came down near us but we were lucky and just got debris on us. But enough whining about the weather.
Avignon is extremely beautiful and we have a lovely view at night of all the castle etc all lit up as we are camped on a sort of island in the Rhone. We arrived yesterday and explored the town and went to the Popes palace which is the best preserved castle of its age in France. We then ...

... where we were or where we were headed. About to give up and go home we FINALLY stumbled across a very dodgy looking little store with a room of computers upstairs. We were all very excited... until realising that the keyboards overseas are not the same as they are back home. You write two sentences with all your a's now s's and all your t's now r's and you just give up. So this is where I apologize for being slack with emails whilst away given the ...

... grounds. I challenged a hill-climb record getting to our last camping ground in Italy just east of Genova and can honestly say I never want to drive up something like that again - even in a funicular - how Camilla copes is beyond me. This time we avoided the Cinque Terre as motorhome holidays revolve around camping and taking public transport into towns and last we were here was on the train so much easier. The coast road in Croatia was frightening but so were the crosswinds that rolled ...

... a purchase, some old man behind the counter suggested we go to Chateau Pesquie and try their wines. It was in nearby Mormoiron, so we went. We bought several bottles because they were quite inexpensive and had a good time. Little did we know that they sell them at Applejack and they're still reasonable! Next on to L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, which was okay, just an average town on the river ...
