Pont du Gard

Next stop: Pont du Gard.

This was our best destination, in my opinion. You can decide for yourselves after you've finished reading about all our destinations ;)

The Pont du Gard is a Roman aqueduct which was used to transport water to Nîmes. You might have heard of it; here are a few photos that might refresh your memory:

pont means bridge, by the way...and Gard is the department in which the aqueduct is situated

Here's the scenery from the bridge:

That's where we walked down to later.

I love the blueness of the water...and the reflections of the bank.

Another beautiful piece of scenery, shot by Kai Lun...I kinda like the angle ^_^

And then...a little bit of everything.

The guys attempting leaping photos again. Somehow this makes me think of chromosomes...the cell division part. :P

After crossing the bridge:

The guys each doing their own thing. Alex and Goh took off their shoes to go into the water...Kai Lun and I didn't.

Alex's shoes and socks

Goh's slippers

After we got tired of fooling around and taking pictures, we sat down to rest...



...and then took a group photo somewhere during that time.

Then we walked all the way back to the car, checking out some souvenir shops on the way (we passed them on the way in as well, but didn't stop then), and proceeded to our next destination.
