🇫🇷 Avignon Chronicles: A Solo Traveler’s Diary

🚌 The "Budget Queen" Saga Took a FlixBus (5.5 hours!) as the only Chinese passenger—sweet Italian grandpa kept checking on me! Plot twist: The taxi to my hotel (a Mercedes E-class!) cost more than the bus ticket. 💸 🏰 First Glimpse of History Opened my hotel window to medieval ramparts + July theater festival posters (so jealous of next month’s visitors!). 🍷 Dinner with a Side of Kindness A waiter’s pitch lured me into a restaurant where: They left water bowls out for "dogs, pigeons, or everything" 🐕🕊️ Local rosé wine hit harder than expected! ⛪️ Pope’s Palace Pro Tips ✔️ Skip the garden ticket—wildflowers next door are prettier! ✔️ Free Petit Palais Museum (with Botticelli originals!) + dreamy courtyard zen. 🎭 Surreal Street Scenes Stumbled upon a boomer protest parade (with disco beats?! 🎵). Police just... vibed along. 🌉 Pont d’Avignon Hack Sunset views from Rocher des Doms park (currently closed for repairs—sad trombone). 🛒 Carrefour Saves the Day 10€ = baguette, cheese, wine—the true French holy trinity. 🥖🧀🍷 #SoloTravel #AvignonAdventures
