Ah, Sunny Provence

Greetings again from Provence, where it is finally, actually, hot! Too hot, really. We got good and sunburned yesterday and the temperature reached the 90s this afternoon.

Lunch in Gordes, Provence

This is our last night based in Orange and the last few days have been busy ones. As soon as the rain stopped we got out on the road, exploring the countryside with its castles, churches and Roman ruins.

Tomorrow morning we are heading further south to Aix-en-Provence, where we'll stay in an apartment hotel for seven nights. We have no big plans for the weekend other than to watch Formula 1 on TV, so I will post more photos and details from there.
