We set off at around 10am from Angers to Bordeaux - I was driving this leg! The drive was around 4 hours (by the time i took a few wrong turns - when tom tom decided to have a bit of a kip). Once again the drive was very picturesque - there was field after field of bright sunflowers, reminded me so much of van Gogh's painting. As we neared Bordeaux we could see Vineyards a plenty! Our hotel was located in the centre of the City, great walking distance to shop...

We stopped off at yet another bar to have a beer, we t...

We sat at the piazza and had a beer - was a bit expensive but then they brought out two lots of antipastos! We finished up in Tuscany with Chris and I heading off on a Wine Tour of the Chianti region - it was absolutely beautiful.... I don't know if that had anything to do with the amount of Grappa that we consumed :) We bought a bottle o...
