Back on the bus, stopped at Avignon, looked at the Papal Palace where the Popes lived for some time while fleeing the various rapes and pillages that they didn't instigate themselves. One of the street performers was dressed as a red bug - he was unique and good.
Walked to the top of the palace where there are wonderful 360 degree vistas and a duck pond where the famous Lila of Brisbane fed the duckies. Walked back down to town, purchased a baguette and french tart for lunch. Great to be back in the land of good pastries.
Drove on to Beaune, it was a long driving day. We arrived around 5.30, it was cold and wet. It was the abridged version of sightseeing. Took a couple of photos and headed for the nearest cafe.
Before dinner we booked the Eurostar for 5 from Paris to London. I had won a bottle of red wine on the bus so cracked that and some of the snapps we had bought in Innsbruck. Had a good night after all.
