After the days stresses and strains on the cars they all arrived in Avignon without any further problems around 7pm. Somewhat surprisingly the Daisy arrived 20 minutes before any other car. (We think that this was because Daisy only has wheel problems going round corners and so any roundabouts on route were just driven straight across regardless!).
We had dinner booked at 8pm at La Fourchette which is Michelin bistro recommended restaurant. The food was very good, the local wine (Chateauneuf du Pape white and red) was excellent and staff were great fun wearing our Rosbifs stickers. We preseneted them with a framed photo of all of the 2CVs for them to hang on the wall. One of the snails didnt make dinner until the cheese course, so now we have 2 sleepy Rosbifs!
After dinner we had a wander round the very pretty town, a glass or two more of red wine with others on Cocktails! and then off to bed after another very busy day.
We are intending to have a wander around the town first thing in the morning, with the joggers out at 7am having missed their early morning excercise in Lyons. We should set off again around 11am

Looking forward to seeing you soon
Love from Sam (and mum)
Not far to go now!! Another day and then you can all have a nice rest with more of that fabulous local wine, cheese, bread - mmmmm

Hi everyone
Love hearing all the news. Must say there is loads of info about what you have had to eat and drink!!, not quite so much about the actual cars! Any chance that Aly may not make it back to blighty, children fed up with wearing paper bags on heads when you pick them up from school in her!! Keep up the good work we think you are all amazing.
Lots of love, Alison,Alicia,Henry and Clara (and Mabel the dog)
Hi hope your on four wheels, not three Richard and Robert!
Look forward to seeing you on sunday!
Hope you guys aren't too exhausted, good luck for the rest of the journey!
Lots of love and luck from Marcus, Leslie & Maurice
Very envious of you all in Avignon drinking Chateuneuf du pape. Spent most of my year abroad drinking pastis in the bar des Celestins (Place des Celestins I think) and chatting up the locals. Thanks for your call Witty! Good luck tomorrow!
Wow! Can't believe that you are almost there. Well done everyone and let's hope you can all make it across the finishing line. David, did you remember to stock up on the Chateuneuf De Pape? Enjoy the last few hours of your adventure. Everyone back here in England are so impressed with you guys. Lots of love Jackie, Beci and Emma xxx
