Bordeaux to St Jean Pied de Porte

Left Sarlat yesterday (only yesterday??) in the early morning as the market was starting...made it to Bordeaux and returned the rental car a little late after finding a gas station and the figuring out how to refuel shenanigans. Stayed in a basic hotel right across the road from the train station, had a lovely late lunch in the restaurant downstairs (really good roast chicken with gravy 😋, salad and potatoes, lemon ice for dessert). After a quick early breakfast, popped across the road and found my train (always somewhat harrowing as the destination listed is not always where you're going and they don't announce the track till 20 minutes before departure). Arrived in St Jean after a change in Bayonne, too early to check in so hiked up to the Citadelle and looked around town, found the Pilgrim office where I'll register Tuesday morning, had ice cream. It's 94°. Now ensconced in beautiful Maison E. Bernat, with AC and wifi! ♥️Leia mais
