Back to Avignon – 20 September 2024

What a carry on – can’t go any further south, west would take us to Spain, and north looks very dodgy weatherwise, so back to Avignon via a supermarket, as we have no food or wine:


Unfortunately supermarket absolutely rammed, nowhere to park this thing, and even if we cold park we would have needed sleeping bags while waiting at the checkout. No more supermarket shopping before noon from now on. Then the satnav lost its mind and tried to take us to Spain.

Chaos at the pumps trying to fill up at the motorway services as well. French screeming at one another, horns blasting non-stop, a French man wearing a woman’s sweater in a white Arran pattern doing his nut in an attampted macho style and failing. More swearing, tooting and screaming. After 30 mins (at least) a car length from a pump, filled up in 5 mins and on our way. Maybe the French have’t got used to automated pumps. I have a dash-cam that I never use – wish it was switched on for this performance as it would have gone viral.
