Avignon

We left St pe and had a training session at Pau before we hit the road to Avignon. Drove back the road we had travelled to Foix , sunflowers were now in full bloom. We stopped in Toulouse for a picnic lunch and a wander around. Jane and I got lost and arrived bak to the boys waiting for us... makes a change!
Carried on to Avignon and lots of vineyards dotting the country side. The total drive was 5 hours , mostly at 130km on motorways so not too bad. Found our hotel and very nice people and secure gated car park which is a must with kayaks on the roof.
Headed out for dinner and a wander around filled with stories of 11 and 12 years old gypsys stealing stuff. Had a gorgeous( read expensive dinner) in a small enclosed square with a massive church. Then walked down to the Palace de Papes and Pont Neuf ( Sur le pont d'avignon) if you remeber the nursery rythme. Icecreams and then to bed ready for another 5 hour drive tmoro.
