A frantic phone call to Megan followed. Unlike me, she doesn't worry unnecessarily when things like this happen and within a few minutes, had booked us onto the next flight which left a day later. We texted our aunt to arrange being picked up a day later than planned and were then left with a day and a half of unplanned time off in London.
After a bit of searching using a well known search engine, we decided to go to Eltham Palace on the day when we were meant to be flying out. We got lucky and the weather was good. Entry to the house included a free audio/interactive tour which provided some interesting facts about it all.
As we were flying out from Luton, I stayed over with Megan in Earlsfield ready to get the night bus to Victoria at 2am the next morning. After watching every comedy available on BBC iPlayer and a tense game of Trivial Persuit, we gave up and allowed ourselves two hours of sleep. Probably not the best move when we had to get up again.
I've never flown from Luton before and it definitely wasn't the nicest airport I've been to. That was until we got to Nimes at the other end and had to queue on the tarmac of the airport to get through French immigration. Meanwhile, our plane was already loading luggage and letting the return journey passengers back on.
We stayed with our aunt in Arles. We had originally hoped for some sunshine but sadly it rained for all of the two days we were there. Despite this, we had a fun trip to Avignon where we saw the famous bridge and Palais des Papes (excuse the French). We also had fun exploring the Roman architecture and small streets of Arles. Maybe next time we go, it won't rain so much. Here's some fun pictures to fill up the rest of this entry because I've run out of things to say:
