Pont du Gard and Uzes

Getting Ollie to pose for a shot, Pont du Gard.
Day 4: Pont du Gard.






Marie, Fil and the boys, Pont du Gard.
It's amazing this still exists 2000 years on. It's an aqueduct sitting over a river. Amazing engineering with all the perfect angles, arches and heavy strong pointed sections sitting in the river.






It carried water 50km from Uzes to Nimes with a tiny drop, feeding water by gravity. At Nimes, you can see the part that distributed the water. It's ancient Super Mario plumbing still amazing.




Uzes, the main church.


Uzes is a beautiful town.





Day 5: same again but with Mill and Dave. Mill was sick yesterday.



Walking around looking for somewhere to eat, Uzes.
