I skipped blogging on May 17 because it only involved a train ride from Madrid. When we arrived at the TGV station, we had prepaid tickets for the short train ride into the city. It was so late that we decided to take a taxi instead. The cab ride was less expensive than our train tickets and the driver was very friendly. We checked into our hotel and immediately went to dinner across the main square from our hotel. Ann had lamb shanks and I had duck breast. We were really hungry after the train ride with awful cafeteria food to eat. Bed time was after midnight.
We started our morning with the hotel's breakfast buffet. It had lots of fresh fruit and eggs along with breads, cereals, coffee, etc. Then we toured the Pope's palace which is the main attraction here. Then it was back to the Place de l'Horloge for lunch. Eating outside on the square, Ann had chicken and a cheese plate. I had smoked salmon and a French traditional steak with fries.
After lunch we walked to Pont d'Avignon to see the view of the palace from the end of the bridge. From there we climbed to gardens above the palace and meandered back to our room.
Dinner was on a side street away from the touristy square. Ann had a really good vegetarian pie while I had a hamburger. Afterward, we stopped for ice cream.
