A road trip

Because of my brother’s interests in random things, we took a road trip yesterday to Millau, some 420km away from Antibes and back. The reason was to see the tallest bridge in the world spanning over 340 meters, 343m to be exact. And I must say, it was pretty impressive.
We drove through Arles twice, and it seems to be a town where you’re going to get stuck regardless of the time of day. We also stopped at Nimes on the way to see a miniature (not so small) version of the Colosseum and a Greek looking building that turned out to be Roman. On the way back we stopped at Aix-de-Provence for a nice dinner.
The weather aspect on the trip was somewhat interesting: we had everything from 25C degree sunshine to crazy rain showers and even a hailstorm up in the hills. The only thing missing really was snow.

I felt almost at home just then

Wow!
You made me jealous now…I wish I could have been there too! 🙂
As always, great photos…and haha, yeah, the pic of the crazy rain really reminded me of home as well 😀 (even though, sadly, I am still at home!)
