We drove down to a cave today. Just the thought of it being 13 degrees Celcius inside made us want to go there ;-) On the way there were several awesome sites as usual...
Just imagine living there...
We went to the cave of Thouzon.
These ponds were amazing.
They are created by water drying at the edge and leaving a calcium deposit.
Stalactites. Lots and lots...
Everybody looking up.
The cave was shaped by an underground river that once ran through. At the end of the cave is a deep hole down that they've started clearing, hoping they'll find the river still flowing lower in the rock. Good luck with that...
Then we visited a city called Carpentras briefly. Simone wanted to look for new sneakers but unfortunately all the shops were closed again because it wasn't 3PM yet. During our brief visit I did manage to take a few piccies though ;-)
In the evening Milan and I joined Harry and Niek to drive to the top of Mont Ventoux. This mountain is very high (1900 metres or so) and sometimes also used in the tour de France (not this year though).
Awesome views of course.
Some guy rocked up in this beautiful BMW that I hadn't seen before.
The top.
I spotted this little chapel close to the top.
Miland and I walked and climbed upthere, leaving Niek and Harry behind because they were only wearing flipflops, not very suitable for climbing rocks...
Getting there. it started smelling like animal poo...
Ah... Who'd have thought.
The chapel looked a lot less spectacular when we got there.
It was pretty modern and inside was just a simple altar where people had put things to remember people etc.
