PariTells: Excursion Culinary (Day 3 -- 2/2)

Driving to Venasque

23-06-2014

No no no, I was wrong ! we were not going to Grasse yet that afternoon.Actually we were driving to Venasque to spend a night and to pick up another friend with us before we left the next day.

Before leaving Somying's home on road to Venasque

So from Uchaud,we had 2 cars now.One was a rented car we drove from Nimes railway station and the other was Somying’s.For more comfort for all passengers in each car,Patty moved from ours to sit next to Somying in hers when we left on road again that afternoon.

It was very hot that day,I couldn’t imagine how it would have been if we would not have had airco in the car.Therefore,I truely appreciated "air-condition" pretty much this time,though I normally try to avoid using it when driving in my own in The Netherlands,due to enviromentally friendly reason !

So we were on road again fairly cheerfully, enjoying the cooling and the company of one another.

The distance between Uchuad and Venaque was just about 96 km. And it would have taken us approximately one and a half hour to be in town,and another ten or twenty minutes more to be at our friend’s home.

We had navigator in the car and we trusted that it would work properly.That’s why we decided to drive at our convenience and not to follow each other’s car.Also, that Marry affirmed that she were there before not long ago and she recognized the road somehow.Hence,we were sure we would make it right on road and would arrive in an expected time.

But,we were wrong ! When we were driving too far to notice that it was not the right road.It was almost an hour away but we didn’t come close to the destination yet.So we decided to turn the car back and stopped listening to the navigator from the rented car,instead, we turned on our own mobile navi and it seemed to work more efficiently.

However,the road we drove was not our regular one, afraid that we would repeat making mistake again.To make sure we took the right path, we called our friends for more detail and we got informed.

When we came close to the destination in "Le Village"

The right path to domain we spent a night

To sum up roughly, from Uchaud to Venasque, we drove through Nimes, then took A53 heading Avignon/Montpellier /Arles /Aix-en-Provence /Marseille /AeroportGarons, before accesing to A9. I remembered that we passed Avignon and followed signbord “Centre Historique/Barthelasse”.Took the road to Carpentras searching after that for Saint Dedier/D4,then “Le Village”.

Sounded fast and smooth ? No it was not ! That was just somewhat noticed on my notebook and I skipped much more detail.But all in all, we came in a little bit before dark,later than the other car though.What an adventure ! Yet, "lost and found" was what we had anticipated and let's say it's a part of our trip.And we all enjoyed the ride,after all !

Till next time,
