We spent all day on trains headed from Milan to Ventimiglia, to Nice, and then to Avignon. The area around Ventimiglia is gorgeous – vast overlooks of blue-green sea on one side, with steep terraced mountains on the other, both sides bespeckled with fishing villages.
We safely arrived in Avignon, and splurged a little on a hotel close to the town. The hotel felt like heaven after the Milan hostel – hot water, clean, sweet-smelling rooms, lavendar body wash (the avignon region is famous for lavendar), and fast, reliable wi-fi.
We went out for a lovely dinner, accidentally ordering an entire bottle of wine, but it ended up being a perfect night out.
