Camping Bagatelle, Avignon (the return day 3)

Another beautiful day was forecast for today. Yesterday the temperature had reached 25c, Today we were to expect 27c. That'll do us.

Firstly though we needed to arrange for a nurse to remove Angela's stitches. Within a couple of hours of telephoning Saga a nurse was appointed to visit her a the campsite.

We just had time to visit the nearby pharmacy to pick up an antiseptic wash and sodium chloride solution for her to wash her injured knee.

Whilst in the town we photographed a French lady with her poodles. We couldn't let the opportunity pass by. Whilst Avignon was once again inundated with visitors, she just sat and watched the world go by. The male nurse was excellent. Removed Angela's stitches. Checked the wound and gave advice on aftercare. We asked him to take a look at her knee and he gave instruction on how to care for it going forward, even providing a selection of dressings should there be any complications. For now keep it uncovered but clean. We are now really glad we are booked in the 'coconut' as John now calls it. As we are on a touring holiday Saga won't probably cover the cost of the cabin, but we are hoping they may pay the difference between the cabin and the pitch fee for our tent. All the medical people we haven spoken with have highlighted a clean environment is necessary to cut the risk of infection. We may stay here until Friday. And why not, the weather is great, this evening as we sit out the temperature is over 20c. Another glass of wine Angela thinks. Purely medicinal of course.
