Camping Bagatelle, Avignon (the return day 6)

So much world, so little time. The words rang in our ears. Whilst staying at Avignon we have discussed travelling using our Brompton bicycles. A modification could be done to make them more suitable for touring and certainly easier to take on a train. It would allow us to move from area to area without always cycling, thus saving time. Today was our last full day here. A visit to the station where Caroline in the ticket office renewed our Advantage Senior discount cards for us. What with her grasp of English and ours of French the whole process was carried out with much hilarity. We are now booked onto a train at eleven-thirty tomorrow morning which will take us to Agde on the Mediterranean coast. Before we leave though, we wanted to walk the rest of the old streets.

The buildings there, some dating back to the medieval times. Leaning back at such an angle we wondered how long before they might collapse. There'd certainly be no chance of being given a mortgage on one in the U.K. Time passed quickly and we took the navette, free boat ride back across the river.

The evening was tinged with a little sadness. Once again we ate pizza whilst watching the moon rise over the town. The view was beautiful. We shall cherish our stay here. Angela is recovering well now, but has been very nervous about walking on the uneven pavements here without holding John's hand. She's frightened of falling on her healing knee. The same applies to cycling, but we will cycle less than ten miles tomorrow so all should be good. Tomorrow we must rise early to check out of 'Le Coconut'. The last twelve days have been eventful to say the least. In two weeks time we need to be in northern France where undoubtly it will feel much colder. The temperature here tomorrow 33c! We think we'll stick around a while in the med. We've a whole winter to feel cold.
