7th Sept - Avignon (France)

After a good night sleep, (except for nic), we set off to go to another city of France, Avignon. (Dunno how to pronounce in the first place). And our first incident in the morning was we were heading to the wrong train station! haha... but luckily we realised it in time n managed to catch the train to Avignon.

We settled down at the local YMCA hostel, cheap n good n clean, jus tt is a bit far from the city. Neverthless, we walked to the city after settling down. Discover lots of nice pretty flowers n interesting but disgusting insects on the way.

Finally got oursleves at The Popes' Palace. It is a very big n fantastic building from outside but actually nothing much interests me inside. Each of us was given something like a cordless phone (is there a name for it?) There are numbers everywhere inside the palace indicating which number to press on the phone n we can hear about the history or stories about the place. St Benezet Bridge was the next destination. Nothing much as well but a very nice place to take a good look at scenery around us. This city is definitely a much quieter place compared to Paris. N more greeneries which I like! http://www.palais-des-papes.com/anglais/index.html

For your information, Macdonald's there is not cheap! One small hamburger n a milk shake costs me ard SDG4. And yes, tts my dinner for the day.

Basically, we had walked for the whole day, n more walking the next morning! By the time we reached our hostel, I can feel that my legs were already not mine! But well, is still worth it, if not for the walking, we will not realised that the moon from overseas is so much bigger than it is in Singapore! waaahaha...
