Left Nice today, heading to Avignon, for one last stop in France before (fingers crossed I can find a way to get there) Switzerland. It was a bit of a trial getting here, to begin with my first bus was running 35 minutes late, so I missed the connecting bus by 5 minutes (silly me for thinking 30 minutes would be enough to change buses at the same bus station), which left me an hour and a half wait for the next bus. Eventually made it to Avignon, and to the only hostel in town, to be told that the reception didnt open until 5pm. On asking if I could store my bags until 5 I was told "no, it is winter!" Well does that really make a difference in there being a room available to store bags-apparently you can store them when you check out for the day, but not if you arrive early!
So I spent a couple of hours wandering around with my backpacks. It is a lovley city, old city walls, beautiful buildings, and on the other side of the river, another village I will visit tomorrow. Just need to find either a bus or a train to Switzerland for tomorrow night or Saturday morning.
