A nice relaxing start today as we had a nice leisurely 50k drive to Arles. We arrived mid morning and headed straight to a laundry to wash the bourbon from my clothes. With that done we checked in to the hotel then returned to the tourist info centre in town. There a young French girl told us what we needed to know and joked around with us, giving us her best Aussie accent. We bought a pass from her then wandered around town seeing the sites. The town is famous f...

The alarm went off at 7am after not much sleep. We organised a new plan. Carcassone is one of those places I have always wanted to see but it will have to wait until later in life. With the last few days rushing by we hadn't been enjoying it too much. So we reevaluated and have decided to wear the cost of accommodation in Carcassone and book somewhere closer. Well we won't really be out of pocket as the tolls and fuel to get there would probably be more than a ni...

Up at 5am then on a bus to the airport. We arrived and checked in then said goodbye to Spain. We arrived in Milan at 10am, grabbed our hire car and headed southwest into France.

There is so much I never write about on these blogs, mostly because it's done on an iPhone. It takes a while to type on the small screen & quite frankly it gets a little frustrating after a while. There is always so much more I want to say but never get it in, but it does give everyo...

So our final day in Paris began overcast once again. We struggled to get out of bed but forced ourselves & headed out into the city once again. We stopped and grabbed some croissants before boarding the metro & making our way first up to the Musee de l'Armee. We headed straight in to see Napoleon's tomb which was so big. Definately too big for a little man but I guess he was big in his place in history. From there we spent a few hours wandering around see...
