France - Avignon

this is our hostel room in a campsite. we managed to make it look like a bangla campsite thanks to our clothes hanging ALL over..and i managed to get up the top bunk!

hmm..i THINK its a palace (??) in Avignon..hmm i really CANNOT recall what its called, but it was where the pope fled to when they were ousted from italy, and they set up a mini vatican in Avignon. Of coz when christianity was made legal again the palpacy returned to italy.


the exterior..and yes, the wind in avignon is SO strong..

not too sure why this guy is still here
(think he's one of the swiss guards) though the pope has set up his seat in italy since duno when..but hey! he's such a nice guy and is willing to pose for a pic with anyone who asks! he truly reminds me of...puss in boots. don't u think so?


once again, i cannot recall the name, but this is a bridge which is only built halfway, and does not reach the banks on the other side. this photo is a gem because the wind was unbelievable STRONG and somehow i was lucky to get this shot in which i don't look like a crazy fool.
