How Apt!

Ok, quick post to catch up some more then I reaaalllly need to sleep.

So, Tuesday night I went to O' Neills, the Irish Pub on Rue de la Republique, to meet some other assistants. I had been feeling slightly ill (sore throat, cough, blocked nose etc) since Sunday but by the Tuesday I was really feeling very run down, especially with all that running about flathunting, so I didn't stay for long. I did however stay long enough to find my roomate- an Austrian assistant who is tres tres sympa! She mentioned that she was still looking for somewhere and, knowing a room was still free at the house I'd be staying at, I gave her the address and phone number of the place (or so I thought, haha). After about an hour at O'Neills I left to find my parents who were having a drink at a nearby cafe and to go back to the appartment, because I really wasn't feeling fab. Then had an early night, as we had a plan for an early rise to catch the bus to Gordes (the village where one of my schools is) the next day.

Wednesday we got up and ready nice and early and caught the bus to Cavaillon, from whence to go to Gordes. On the bus my aunt called me to say she'd had a call from someone asking about renting a room... it took me a while to realise that I had somehow written my aunt's phone number instead of that of the proprietaire of the house! Had minor freak out and then phoned Stephanie just as I was getting off the bus, to explain my faux pas... only to notice that she was already standing at Cavaillon Gare Routiere right in front of me! Tres bizarre. Anyway she had managed to get an appointment for the room as I had actually written the correct number underneath so it was all cool... but after I said bye to Stephanie we found out that we couldn't go to Gordes because you have to phone to book the bus on a Wednesday... quoi?! So we had to do something else and the eventual choice was Apt, just cause it's easy to get to from Cavaillon.

There's not much to say about our day trip to Apt, but here's some photos to illustrate it:
