Sunday we went apple picking in Avignon for the afternoon. I met Alison for hot chocolate after a cold and rainy morning, overlooking the Pont D'Avignon and as we caught up the sun came out. We met up with the others and crossed over the river and walked down the bank of the island, where the view back over to Avignon is very beautiful. You can very quickly come to country lanes as you walk further out of Avignon and soon we were in apple orchards where we filled our bags with windfall apples and then went for a lovely Sunday afternoon walk. As we walked the wind picked up and we headed back as the sun was going down, to Alison's friend's apartment for hot drinks and apple tart. It was a lovely day, and the chance I needed to get out of Apt for a day and have a change of scenery.

Today Becca and I went for a walk out of Apt, a less successful walk to find the village of Gargas which we didn't find but we did find a McDonalds so we decided to have a McFlurry and then wandered around a bit before coming back home. Tomorrow I have three hours at work before another six days off but on Wednesday Becca and I are planning to get a new phone contract which should hopefully allow unlimited free calls abroad. It is 19.99 Euros without a contract for free calls, free texts, 10GB of 3G and you get leant a smartphone with it which seems a bit too good to be true but as we didn't know how to say, 'what's the catch?' in French we have signed up for it and have to get our phones on Wednesday.
