... haven’t been to Paris yet so we don’t know what they are like there.   The bus came to get us and so glad to see it and get out of here.  Avignon was absolutely beautiful but the campsite was terrible.  Camping Bagatelle sucks. ...

... the trees of the campground and read the siesta time away. Once the sun started to go down we strolled back towards Pont d'Avignon and watched a bloated fluffy white cat float down the river before snapping way too many photos of the sunset and going back ...

... by being overly nervous and unsure of my every decision. In the end I made all of the right choices and arrived in Avignon in one piece. The hostel I booked was located just under 2 Kms away from the train station, so I picked up all of my gear and ...

We arrived in Avignon early afternoon and after finding our hostel we had to wait around for 3 hours because we weren't allowed to check in til after 5pm. No matter though as the hostel was right on the river and we had food. we watched the sunset over ...

... towards Americans... I arrived in Avignon yesterday lunchtime. It's irritating how long things take - I left the hostel in Aix at 9am, and arrived in central Avignon at 12.30, despite it being a 20 minute train journey. I visited the Palais du Papes, ...

... walled medieval city on the Rhone, which used to be the home of the Popes when they were in France for a hundred years. Avignon was again very pretty with its river location, chic shops, pretty streets and Popes Palace, but a little too touristy for ...

... . Who knew? Another pretty little fortress town. The hostel I stayed in was EMPTY. Good thing I didn't see that Hostel horror film before I left. Located in Avignon is also the Palace of Popes, Which of course I went to see. Impressive, but no photos to ...

In Avignon, I have camped for the past week on Ile de Barthelasse in the middle of the Rhone river. Each morning I try to get up earlier and earlier, but luckily I can do this ever so easily from my sleeping bag. I start with some exercise to get the ...

... siesta before we worked out what we wanted to do that evening. The walk back across the bridge demonstrated the wild weather Avignon once experienced. The wind was so strong at some points that it physically pushed me aside or prevented me moving forward ...

... in advance.  With this taken care of we adjusted to the bustling city which was a change of pace from quaint Avignon.  Geneva has some excellent perks including free public transport, including boats, for all tourists and also free bike hire ...
