Arles
Quick run through Arles, another old Roman city with a coliseum and theatre. We thought it a bit odd they seemed to be completely rebuilding the Roman theater with new stones. Doesn’t that kind of defeat the purpose of a historic relic? Also the “Nature Reserve” of the Camargue. Supposedly a protected salt flat area with wild horses and flamingoes. This may be the most un-natural nature reserve I have ever seen, and a complete joke that it was in our 500 best sights in the world book. There wasn’t one square meter without a field, towns all over the place, and one third of the area has been turned into a rather ugly salt production field. Not one of our better days, but it’s still vacation!

Onto the French Riviera - whoohoo!
