Avignon
The last stop of the trip was a night in Avignon. We arrived pretty late to find out our hostel was actually a dorm on a campground. Interesting. No wonder we paid only 11 euro. It was clean though and as I would find out that night, very quiet, which was nice. Finally slept! We got into town around 9 and walked to see the town a little before the light was totally gone. We saw the Pope's Palace and then walked a little bit to find the places were all the restaurants were. We chose badly for the restaurant, but it was a nice night, so enjoyed a girafe of beer before being utterly exhausted and heading back across the river to the hostel. Nothing exciting to report from the drive back to Clermont except the directions said it would take 3 hours and 45 min, but that was with the autoroutes. We took the national roads and it took us exactly 5 hours, which was good because we were supposed to return the car at 2pm and we made it at 2:05pm. Nice. Good trip all-in-all. Kind of exhausting, but cool to see the south of France!
