Wednesday - Sunny We had 3-4hrs on the road today, and had a few stops at some towns a long the way. We hit the road nice and early after we finished off all the food for breakfast, which probably ended up being too much. We were so full! The drive back up north wasn't too bad, but there were a lot more cars on the roads compared to last Sunday. This time we saw loads of trucks we had to take a detour because the traffic came to a stand still. We made it to C...

Just a good omelette baguette, some juice and coffee.

We were extremely lucky to get tickets today for the Niaux cave. Visits to t...

Then drive about 30mins S/E out of Bordeaux to a couple of nice wineries and do some tastings. Most likely pickup a couple nice bottles of Vin to have with ou...

Saturday : Overcast then Fine We had a late checkout today and took advantage of it with a good sleep in. We were only catching a couple trains to Bordeaux today. We waited for an hour in the park near the Blois chateau before walking up to the train station. I went to the nearby shop and brought back some lunch to have while we waited for our train.
