Day 14 - Paris - 05.06.2013 We woke up early today about 7am. After getting ourselves and Benji to be ready for the day, we had breakfast at the hotel area which turned out to be a total rip-off; 10€ per person for croissants, cereals and coffee. It was a bad call to have breakfast provided by the hotel, thinking that we could save some time searching for breakfast venues which would translate to more time for shopping. We were disappointed but reminded our...

Day 13 - Paris - 04.06.2013 In the morning, we left the hotel at 930am. We went to Avignon TGV to catch a 3-hour train ride to Paris, the last destination of our trip. We boarded the train at 1015am and arrived at Paris at about 1pm. After changing to a metro line, we walked for about 15min before reaching ResidHotel, a serviced apartment where we would be staying for the next two days. It was about 2pm then. We waited for another hour before we got our roo...

Day 12 - Provence - 03.06.2013 We woke up at 7am. After preparing ourselves and Benji, we left our hotel at about 8am to head towards Europcar (near Avignon TGV) to return our rented car. The drive was only about 10min. After the car was returned, we took a bus which took us to the city centre of Avignon. Thereafter, after we alighted, we walked about 15min back to the hotel for our breakfast. Breakfast was really enjoyable. Our fellow Singaporean friends,...

Day 11 - Provence - 02.06.2013 We woke up at 630am. We got ourselves and Benji ready and had our breakfast at the hotel. We departed from our hotel at 9am plus and set off for our first destination of the day - L'sle-sur-la-Sorgue. L'sle-sur-la-Sorgue is a busy, open market with many stalls that sell an array of assorted food items, accessories, and many others that I can't imgaine listing them all here. Basically, it was a wonderful experience of blending i...

Day 10 - Provence - 01.06.2013 Real holiday begins! We woke up at 5am to prepare ourselves to catch the train from Geneva to Provence. At the train station, we grabbed our takeaway breakfast and a cup of coffee and made our way to the appointed train platform. The only thing we didn't manage to do successfully was our attempt to claim back the VAT for the watch which I purchased the day before. Well, it was obvious rather to forgo getting the refund than to ...
