Well it is now 7.20pm and so far today we have not had a glass of wine! Must be a record for this holiday. Instead we have had a day on the tourist trail with a visit to the historic town of Lyon. The journey was long and hot as it seemed everyone wanted to go into Lyon today at the same time as us - but once we had survived the traffic jam on the way in we found somewhere to park and found our feet.
An open top bus tour seemed the solution to find out the best parts about this city. However, we discovered although we were first at the bus stop that did not stop a load of French tourists getting on first - why is it that it is only the British that know how to queue! After this we had a great trip around the City and found out loads about its historic past and the recent redevelopment of some areas. The architecture was very beautiful and we had some great views from the top of the hill by the Cathedral Notre Dame with its gold statue of Our Lady on top. Finishing the tour we had a late lunch of 2 scoops of ice cream by the river before returning to our car and the much quicker journey home.
Now of to dinner and i fear more than one glass of wine!
