We arrived in Avignon on the train from Paris and we went about 600 kms in 2.5 hrs. Well the flavour of our trip has been many modes of transport and thank god that we have had a variety! I have been walking so much that I reckon I could represent Australia in London for the 25 km walk!! We walked "sur le pont d'Avignon", which was amazing and it doesn't go the length of the river.
Now listen to this one. This guy, a peasant, gets a message from God and he tells him to gather all the people in the village and get them to help him to build the bridge, and they all do this amazing job. I have been waiting and I'm
still yet to get my message!!! So hang on to your knickers, as a great monument is coming I'm sure. We caught this tiny train around Avignon and it was so great, as you get all the lowdown of the history. We managed to convince a guy in an American bar to make Mum and me some take-away hot chocolates in plastic beer mugs!! Are we desperate?
The food trail still continues - I think "a few pastries a day keep the Doctor at bay".
It's 10.30 at night and I'm sitting in the hotel breakfast area on the wi-fi updating you. I'm now in Italia (Firenze) and we are just next door to the Duomo and in the distance, a band is playing with a bass, and they are wonderful. Mum is up in bed as it's been a long day for us, having been out since 8.30am. Has anyone seen Mrs Brown; it's a man dressed up as a woman and I have been showing it to Mum on the iPad. I'm having trouble
adding photos from the iPad to the blog. Any tips anyone?
