Bordeaux.. Road Trip!

Road Trip!! We meet Deb at Avis, pick up our Renault Cleo and off we go! We quickly discover that in France the roads are narrow and no one follows road rules.

First stop is a quick pitstop at Versailles to check out Europes biggest castle. We arrive at the castle and yes- it is huge. Not as huge though as the queue of people to get in! We decide to skip it and keep moving.

The 5 hour drive to Bordeaux is somewhat uneventful aside from the drama at the toll booths, not accepting our credit cards despite charging an exorburant 50euro plus over 2 tolls! We finally arrive in Bordeaux and its lovely- we can see how its earnt its UNESCO heritage listing. There are castles everywhere, complete with round turrets- just like in the fairytales!

Wine, dinner, check out town and its bed time after a long day travelling.. we are in wine country!Read more
