Hanging Out In Avignon

So what do we do when we are just hanging around the apartment? Well, we just cruise really.....we get up late, hang around the apartment, go for a walk, grab something to eat.....basically, we chillout from all of the stress of taking a long holiday!!!! Hey, it gets hard trying to think of what to do and where to go every minute of the day...lol.

For example, today we took a short walk to an area of Avignon we have not been to yet, just outside of the walls.

Great Statue

Outside The Walls

We then wound our way back to the apartment taking new lanes and roads we have not been down before, and just take in the wonderful buildings that we come across.

Lots Of Classic French Architecture

We then came across a little wine shop...a Cave A Vins...where you could do wine tasting...well, we could not resist that. They had a neat little setup, you get a plastic card, similar to a credit card, put money on it, and put it into the machine, select the wine you wish to taste, it pours you a tasting glass and charges your card....so we were able to taste a good variety of french wines.........all I can say after selecting a number of wines to taste...Australian wines rule!!!

Wine Tasting Time

We then made our way to a little wine bar called Le Vintage that is next door to the apartment where we stopped for lunch and had a very reasonably priced "Plat Du Jour"....this time a dish very similar to Coq au Vin..quite tasty.

Casual Lunch

Then its back to the apartment, catch up on emails, the blog, arranging more of the trip, renting a car, working out what to do over the next few days....can you see the stress creeping back in???
