Day 14 - FR

Cookie says...
On the way to Avignon we visited a Roman theatre in Orange. It's a very good example and one of only three with its wall still remaining. We audio guided ourselves around it and then made tracks for our accommodation. Good driving music today might I add.


Julz had picked an appartment in a town called Trevouse which was several kms out of Avignon. It was a bit of fun trying to find but it's a winner. It has three floors and they clearly thought a family was coming as we scored a queen bed however the others had kiddie sized ones.

Today we all got comfy in the car and were forced to endure 3 hours of Bon Jovi - kill me now.

I was pleasently suprised by Cookie's detour to the theatre in Orange. I expected a bunch of ruins on a hill that I could look at from the car. But after being assured it was worth getting out for, the wall of the theatre was pretty cool.

Sarah says...
I like Bon Jovi - but not 3 hours worth. At one point I thought it would just be less painful to end it all and depart from this life. Fortunately about that time we stopped in Orange and the theatre was actually well worth the drive. Still in excellent condition and with a great history, this was an unexpected gem.

I’d seen several theatres/amphitheatres/whatever they are called when in Italy, but the one today was a little bit different (it had a wall-y bit) and due to an audioguide (and the fact that all we did today was driving/listen to Bon-boring. Harsh?) was interesting.
