A brush with the law!
Quite an exciting day in the end!
After the Pont du Gard we headed to Nimes, where we stopped off to look at the Roman amphitheatre and a Roman temple. They're both pretty much intact, and the amphitheatre is particularly impressive. You can climb right to the top of the seating, which is pretty high.
The fun started as we headed out of Nimes towards the Camargue. This was the point at which I inadvertently ran a red light and got pulled over by the police. Oops! It took quite a lot of talking to them before they asked whether I was from the area. As soon as I said that we were from England they changed from being very severe about it all to being very helpful, and giving us directions, which was handy because we were getting a bit lost!
It was getting quite close to sunset so we didn't stop long in the Camargue; just enough to get a bit of a look at the flamingos, and have a bit of a drive around some of the small roads. We didn't really do the place justice; we'll have to go back some day.
