Day 18 Rest day in Cahors

What a nice thought when we woke up this morning to think we had the whole day to ourselves and not much walking required.
We decided to go on the very touristy petit bus that took people all around the old historic party of the city. It was great just to be driven and entertained by the driver who mainly spoke French but sometimes spoke a bit of English. Like always we are amazed at how old the place is and the beautiful old bridges stand out and the river. Plus I love all the hanging baskets.
It seems Cahors was quite affected by the 100 year war as I suppose was most of France . It took 70 years for the Valentre bridge to be built and 30 years to build the towers. I'm glad NZT not coping with 100 year wars!
The town has some delightful areas but also an air of neglect about it and again so quiet. There were a few beautiful shops so a tiny bit of shopping was done but as we only allowed 13kg not much can be bought.
Tonight's meal is at the hotel and the Spears are coming for an aperitif ( bottle of rose bought for 6 euro which was the most expensive on the shelf!)
It's cold here today as in 9 degrees so hoping it warms up a tad.Read more
