Day 7 Fontaine de Vaucluse to Bonnieux

Today started off with a pretty stiff climb out of Fontaines de Vaucluse  and that was the way the day was set to continue.  We next climbed up to Gordes which is a really picturesque hilltop town which looks as though it has been unchanged in centuries. ( check out the balconies on the building in the left foreground!)

However Gordes was apparently deserted and in ruins until around 1950 when various artists moved in and started to renovate it.

We then set off to Roussillon, another hilltop town for lunch.

By this time it was getting pretty hot so we decided to call a halt after about 25 miles at Bonnieux , yet another hilltop town! 

I'm still having problems with my phone shutting down on me so only recorded part of today's route.http://www.strava.com/activities/190598064

We've also had a message tonight from Marseille airport that our missing panniers have turned up, however the logistics of getting them them delivered to us is a lot of hassle as we are never certain wher we will end up each day so we have ( hopefully!!) arranged for them to be sent home to us.

We'll see if they ever turn up
