We walked down a really long road (which is ironically called rue de paradiz), hunting for a pair of Ferragamo shoes for Wen's boss' wife. In doing so, we literally walked the breath of approximately 250 buildings.
Only to find out that the shop did not have shoes of the right size...
And that long walk came after a whole morning of rambling through the really cool town of Arles where van Gogh stayed for some years.
Arles turned out to be the place van Gogh painted the picture of his bedroom, which Ping really liked in her growing up years (while playing the board game Masterpiece). Arles was also the inspiration for van Gogh's starry night cafe picture, yellow house picture, etc.
And with its old houses, roman era buildings, windy streets and photo-friendly blend of colours, the town retains it's simple charm till today.
So you can imagine how much we had already walked in the morning.
And Wen is still plotting to make us trek up something or other in Jungfrau, Switzerland!!
Our poor feet...
(p.s: The beautiful Marseille sunset we saw at the port was another highlight of the day... :-) )
