French holiday Day 6: Arles and La Camargue

[london1967]

By day 5 I had already noticed marks on some of the pictures: some dust had got on the sensor and I didn't have anything to clean it with. Never mind, a number of pictures turned out rather spotty but it certainly didn't ruin the holiday.

Day 6 (March 25th) was spent visiting the city of Arles, and then the Camargue, the marshy delta of the river Rhône.

In the Camargue we visited the town of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer and the walled medieval city of Aigues-Mortes; and spotted many pink flamingos:
