Nimes surrounds inc Uzes

Thursday morning Matt Dreelin picked us up and took us to see the Pont du Gard .We then drove past a small medieval town on the way to his house in Uzes. We met Laura and Felix who is 4 and waited to see us before going back to school.We had a lovely lunch prepared by Laura & ice cream made by Pampalona & coconut mountains.Matt took us through the back streets near him to a neighbour's property which had sandstone rock formations like in Australia where bouldering and abseiling occurred.Some of the rocks were named because of their appearance- lion, rhinoceros, elephant , lovers kissing.We then drove into Uzes proper, a beautiful little town and wandered around to the Duke's castle .Next we walked to the school and Matt collected his daughter seven year old Pampolona and we went for coffee.Matt drove us back to our apartment and on the way Pampolona and I practised our spoken languages. Stephen and I went across town just beside the railway to a bar & ate a very nice pizza- goats cheese,smoked duck and honey with a delicious Italian salad which had artichoke,bocconcini,prosciutto and all the rest. Struggled back at home to book replacement bus ticket across Germany with poor internet.Read more
