Part 3 of holidays ......
Tuesday was a day to be active after all that waiting! We drove to Fontaine de Vacluse, to Kayak Vert, and we went canoeing down the river in 3 kayaks. Jem and Terry, Connor and I, and the Wrights together.
This entailed me paddling like mad in order to win the (eventual) race, despite Connors somewhat hindrance. When we dropped back in order to actually enjoy the scenery, there was much screaming, crying and moaning from the little man in the front.
I was exhausted at the end and I must say it was fun, but could have been a lot better. I did manage to see some large trout in the crystal clear water, and I even managed to dock alongside Terry an hold his hand some of the way ( ahhhh sweet …..). This caused much upset to Connor of course.
After the canoeing we drove to the town and took a walk up to the actual source of the water in the cliffs, and walked a bit around the town for some shopping, and to see the old Cathedral.
Then we drove to Isle Sur la Sorgue and walked through the town there. Unfortunately it was the same time as that when they close for siesta, so only a few shops were open, but it was pretty anyway.
Then we drove home to let the kids swim in the pool as it was hot. Some of the adults swam too (but not me!). Then we went out to dinner with everyone. I paid, and it was ok but not great. The kids managed to behave themselves a bit. They played cards.
