Bordeaux day one.

We left when it was still dark at 0645 via taxi to catch our train to Bordeaux. A four hour train ride. We all dosed and barb and I had two hours which was lovely but also didn’t want to miss anything but in the end gave in.
Bordeaux has more than met expectations and we are sad we only have 3 days here. We arrived bed midday and left our luggage at the air BNB then meandered into the city in awe of its fabulous architecture from the first stone burned buoys in 1600s to the gothic church’s originally built in 1300 with a few add ons over the centuries. A highlight was lunch (surprise) where we stumbled on a gorgeous restaurant with outdoor tables and a small but more than perfectly formed menus. It was a set menu where you paid either 20 or 25 euros for seater main and dessert. We shared a terrine that tasted exactly as it should then 3 of us chose the beef tartare we we all raved over. Forced down pud plus I had a rose wine. Then we did the touristy thing and went for a city tour on an etrain. We thought we would orientate to the city but I ended up confused. See what boots.
In bed now as we are going on a guided tour to Saint Emillion tomorrow and then an ebike wine tour. Pinch me!Read more
