Thursday 11th August - Avignon

---

Today everyone was meant to have their tents packed up by 7.30am, well at that time there were still people in bed... all good though, Mama Bear (e have nicknamed 1 of the girls 'Mama Bear', and she is only 19!) went and got them up and told them off! Another short blog because we spent most of the day on the bus! Another 9 hour drive to Avignon, France with 3 stops. We watched a movie on the bus to fill in some of the time and we also played some games. Good times and a lot of laughs!
We arrived in Avignon at about 4pm and it was VERY warm. It was a race to set the tents up and to get to the showers (well for the girls it was!) At 6pm most of us met to go on a walking tour of Avignon (Michele (Said 'Mi-kel-ee) our tour leader took us), we expected it to be about 1-2 hours... we had seen the main sites of the town in 30 minutes! We had to organise our own tea tonight so a pile of us went to the supermarket and bought some picnic stuff and sat by the river and had a picnic. More of the group joined us through-out the night. We were told to be careful because of dodgy people around and sure enough there were a lot of cars full of strange people who just sat and watched us for hours... pleased to have Steve around!
That is about as exciting as things get for today!
Missing everyone but having a FABULOUS time!
Love,
Me
