Tuesday the 31st August
Well today we regrettfully said goodbye to Nice and headed off on our way to Avignon. On the way, Brendon had heard of a little place called Les Baux so we stopped in. It was an old medieval town with an old fortified chateau. It was lovely and we had a bite to eat there, then we made our way into Avignon. Although the hotel was actually quite nice, we didnt really have anything nice to say about Avignon. It is a walled city, with a palace, so we were quite excited about seeing it. Turned out to be a bit of a dump so we actually ended up back at the hotel for dinner, which turned out to be a fantastic meal! Didn't even bother to take photos of Avignon, by that stage we were over it!!

Highlights of Today:
- Dinner at the hotel
- Brendon and I chatting to the waiter for an hour - Was nice to have an english conversation!!
Lowlights of Today
- Avignon
So after a hassle of a morning, we moved on from Avignon, to Lyon. Lyon we found to be quite nice. Certainly a lot better than Avignon. And we had a great meal. Felt a lot safer and there were a lot of young people around. It was quite clean, although it did have the occasional whif of a gross smell, it was nice. The hotel was nice too, and we had a nice time walking around the streets and the shops for the tiny amount of spare time we had. Plus Brendon got to try some yummy chocolate things!!
Highlights of Today
- CHOCOLATE
- Pretty streets and good food
- Good vibe of the city
Lowlights of Today:
- We didn't have much time to experience the city.
- Parking
