Day 6 Bedouin to Fontaines de Vaucluse

GA few spots of rain when we got up this morning, our start was delayed for quite a while as we chatted to a solo cycle tourist who seemed to have been col bagging through the alps.
We eventually set off and followed quiet back roads through the hilltop villages of Vanosque
and Le Beaucet.  
There was quite a lot of climbing this morning and the sun soon came out making it pretty hot but we eventually had a great descent to Fontaine de Vaucluse.  This is a lovely wee village where the river Sorgue suddenly erupts from nowhere out of the surrounding limestone cliffs. 



We spent a leisurely afternoon wandering around here then found a campsite a couple of kilometres away where we had a swim in the pool, a couple of jugs of wine, then cycled back into the village for dinner. Sorted!

Here's a link to today's route http://www.strava.com/activities/190136524

And hopefully I've managed to add some photos to earlier posts
