Avignon

First of all, thanks to Craig, our Deputy Blogger, for putting on our brief texts when we have no internet access ourselves. This will happen on many occasions.
But tonight here at Camping du Pont d'Avignon (right opposite the ancient half-a-pont) we have purchased 1 hour of wifi, so here is our latest news.
It's still cold, but at least we left the snow behind in Tournon - we woke up this morning to 1cm of it. Travelling south, we soon ran into sunshine and it's stayed with us all day. Set off on our bikes soon after our arrival in Avignon and explored the old town, including the Rochers des Doms and around the Palace of the Popes. We are going back tomorrow to go inside. We also found our first geocache of the holiday, a micro tucked into a crack in the city wall! Although it is so unusually cold, we have noticed that we are now in Spring - the trees are bursting with new green leaves - such a change from the bare branches further north.
We trust you are all keeping warm back home and that you had a very happy Easter.
We went to Easter Sunday Mass at the catholic church of St. Julien in Tournon yesterday. Quite a change from our usual Easter Day, but we grasped a little of what was going on and enjoyed the singing. We planned to follow this with a meal at an attractive-looking logis close by, but unfortunately it was complet when we arrived. So we ended up in a little bar/restaurant with a limited menu - prawn salad followed by steak for John and Fritures for me (deep-fried sprats including eyes) and then we chose eclairs chocolat from a whole list of desserts! Very tasty.
(Saving a bit of our wifi time for tomorrow).
