So yesterday’s update didn’t put any of the pics up cause the internet cut out so have put them up now.
We decided to skip Perpingnon and head straight to Barca. We got had a look round Avignon this morning. The pattern continues. It rained yesterday but was an amazing day today.
We then jumped on the train at 11:30 and have just arrived in Barca at 7:30pm. A long ride but alot of it along the coast which was awesome. Danielle is speaking Italian grazie instead of gracious.
A pretty laid back couple of days. Ventured into old Lyon yesterday and got caught in yet another downpour that lasted the rest of the day. We managed to visit St Jean’s Cathedral though which wasn’t too bad.

Today was the complete opposite it was a stunning day. There seems to be a pattern here that on our last day in a city the weather is amazing! We hiked up a whole heap of stairs to Our Lady Fourvière Basilica. The stairs were definitely worth it when we got to the top….
The view from the top
The Basilica was stunning. The best interior of a church we have seen yet. So much detail!

On the way back to the hotel we walked through more of the old Lyon.

We then jumped on a train to Avignon which is a choice city surrounded by a wall. Staying here tonight then moving on to Perpignan tomorrow.
