The internet isn’t as easily accessed here because of the location so we were told that we needed to go to the top garden or sit on the steps in front of their house. We were sitting outside with a drink where I was preparing the blog to send and Kim was writing postcards when the English people we met (Phil, Sharon, Neil & Amanda) came out of their accommodation opposite ours with drinks in hand to go for a wander around the property. They came back soon after and Neil wanted to use the internet so he went to the top of the stairs. I was then ready to send the blog so went up to the stairs also, we named it the Internet Café, ludicrous really having to sit in that one spot to be able to use the computer. The others were having drinks in the top garden which is pretty much at the bottom of the stairs and asked us to join them, we didn’t need to be asked twice. We had a lot of laughs about one thing or another and they were well travelled and helped us with the surrounding areas, really nice people.
This morning we got up early again to get to the Uzes market. We were told in the information book that is in our accommodation that it started at 7.30 and went til 12.00 but when we arrived there at about 8.00 to find most of them still setting up we found out that it goes all day. We stopped into a patisserie for a coffee first in the hope that by the time we finished it would all be set up and it was. Now this wasn’t like a market that is in a designated area of town, this was all over town. Just about every street had stalls set up outside shops and the shops were open as well. Everyone we spoke to said that Uzes was a lovely town and it certainly proved to be. It had a great atmosphere with buskers here and there, fresh produce, and all sorts of merchandise. We spent about 4 hours wandering around sometimes going down the same streets twice! You have to understand these towns have streets and alleyways going every which way and it is very easy to get lost. Well maybe not lost as a bit disoriented.
We left there and came back to our accommodation, there was a mix-up and we spent the first 2 nights in another part before moving to what we originally booked so we moved everything in when we got back and then took another drive up the road to a couple of towns nearby but there was nothing there. Back within the hour to relax for the rest of the day.Sorry guys....no photo's at the moment, internet cafe is poor!
