      Bordeaux

      9 Mayıs, Fransa ⋅ 🌙 19 °C

      We had a relatively late and relatively leisurely breakfast at the Brit Hotel, and decided it was only the wifi that matched the grim exterior. Anne raced back to the church at 8:30 for a pilgrim passport stamp, but it was closed.

      We walked to the station to catch the 9:30 train to Bordeaux and arrived to a throng of inaction. There is one every 60 minutes today, so unsurprising. The train arrived a few minutes early and left Shinkansen-style on the dot. It only had 3 carriages, but very light and modern- reading lights and charging points on each seat, and it ripped along. 45 mins on the first train, a 20 min change, 48 mins on the second train (to Agen) and a 90 minute wait, then around 1.75 hours to Bordeaux. We walked around Agen and had lunch back at the station, so at Bordeaux we walked to the hotel (15 mins) and had a cup of tea. Hilton Garden Inn, and we continued a tradition by arriving a little before 3pm.. Lovely room, very quiet, and okay position.

      The guy who checked us in suggested a way to see most of Bordeaux in 6 hours. It was much the same as the Bordeaux World Heritage Circuit we found later in a guide, so he did well. The city heart is 1810 hectares- 18 sq kms, so 4km x 4.5km - and we saw a lot of it. We walked north and saw old city gates, cathedrals, the old town, the river and more. it was a glorious day and a holiday, so the streets and esplanades were crowded, and the restaurants along the streets were all full to overflowing. Not just in the main squares or on the main tourist strip: Bordeaux was crowded mile after mile. Definitely holiday time. It was very warm: in the sun it felt as if we were perhaps being burned, but we are the latitude of Dunedin in NZ, so it was more warmth than sting. Sunglasses on (a first) and a T-shirt all day (another first) and crowds of more than 20 or 30 (another first since leaving Le Puy)

      Bordeaux is a mixture of the old, three or four storey pale-tan limestone buildings from (say) Figeac, laid out with wide, straight streets, and then infinitely bigger, with some glorious grand old buildings scattered amongst the 3 or 4 storey facades, along with theatres, statues and parks. We walked until 7:00pm, had dinner in a trattoria, walked a bit more and caught the tram back. We were in the hotel by 8:45, and the sun was still shining. it is 9pm now and it is starting to set.

      Some huge cathedrals and lovely little streets, a grand old Stock Exchange by the river and not a high-rise to be seen. It is a very different and unspoilt metropolis.

      21,389 steps, 16.8km and 3 flights... hardly worth mentioning, really.      Okumaya devam et

      la deuxième semaine

      27 Nisan, Fransa ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      Le temps passe très vite, deux semaines se sont déjà écoulées. J'apprécie beaucoup mon séjour à Bordeaux, c'est une très belle ville. Je me suis fait beaucoup de nouveaux amis et nous allons souvent faire du shopping. L'école est un peu ennuyeuse parce que nous avons déjà fait toute la grammaire à l'école cantonale, mais quand nous ne faisons pas de grammaire, c'est intéressant. Par exemple, le vendredi, nous avons écrit un poème. Pendant ces deux semaines, nous avons fait de superbes excursions avec l'école. Le week-end dernier, nous avons visité la dune du Pilat et cette semaine, nous avons fait une croisière en bateau.Okumaya devam et

      South toward the trail

      17 Haziran 2022, Fransa ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

      It was a confusing and tense morning of ticket and train matching. What would have been a simple fix in the old days of lots of station masters who can answer questions is now just a guy you wait in line for an hour to talk to who has no power to touch a Eurrail pass. I think God solved the problem for us. I think. 🤔 I activated our passes but according to my app it called my activation date my first day of travel (we get four) That leaves us one day short. I had reservations to get on the train today and I had activated the passes yesterday but my misunderstanding of what “activation” meant has us messed up. They say on the trail “the Way” will provide. The ticket collector was satisfied with the reservation tickets and didn’t actually check my Eurrail pass. That gives us back a day. The Way did provide. (Before you think I’m getting too mystical, read John 14:6. That’s my understanding of The Way.)

      So now we are getting out of the city on the TGV going 300 km/hr for a smaller, slower town. Jon and I have never been to Bordeaux and since the train from Paris to St Jean ran though here anyway we decided to get off and look around. Paris, a city known for style and fashion was hard for me with my three practical zero fashion hiking outfits and no makeup or styling products. I’m sure I looked like a homeless person to them but on the trail I think I’ll fit right in.

      I think the whole world is in a heat wave right now. It’s 104 F in Bordeaux. Yuck. It will cool off before the hike but it will also be rainy. Hmmmmm. Which is better?!

      On the upside, our two rooms in the Hilton are luxurious compared to that one room in the hostel in Paris. (These were way cheaper too!)

      I also saw another couple that was dressed like us- probably other Camino hikers. Slobs unite!

      We went to the old town of Bordeaux which turns out was settled by the Romans. I drank from an ancient Roman well (I’m sure the water was fine) and we stumbled on a cathedral that was built in 800’s. No… not 1800’s! My bucket list thing was to put my 104F feet into the Miroir d eau.

      Considering Europe is known for their lack of ice and tepid beer I’m surviving considerably better than I’d have thought. I just really want an ice cold water though.      Okumaya devam et

      Mad og vin tour i Bordeaux

      27 Nisan, Fransa ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      Vi har købt en guidet tour rundt i Bordeaux's madmecca. Det var en dygtig guide som fortalte en masse om byen, men det blev lidt ødelagt af regnen. Men altså bageren, konditoren, slagteren og oste- og vin entusiasten, var da bare fantastiske. Alle brænder for deres fag, bruger de bedste råvarer og sørger for den bedste præstation.
      Vi endte på en vinbar hvor vi fik lov at spise lækkerierne og drikke vine der passede til. To røde og en hvidvin.
      Gåturen retur til toget, går ad promenaden langs floden, Garonne. Bordeaux bliver bare ved at imponere, med de store flotte bygninger. Den række af høje historiske bygninger strækker sig flere kilometer. De er selvfølgelig smukkest jo tættere de ligger mod centrum.      Okumaya devam et

      Spanish tapas - Can't help ourselves!

      8 Nisan 2023, Fransa ⋅ 🌙 14 °C

      After our exertions trying to get through all the Saint-Emilion samples on offer this afternoon, we decided to venture back into Bordeaux for some food. We came across this Tapas bar (El Pata Negra), which was completely empty at the time. By the end of our meal, as you can see, the place was bouncing.
      I know we are in France, but we just love our Spanish tapas.      Okumaya devam et

      Vi spiser på en tyrkisk restaurant inden vi skal ud på en guidet tour med fransk mad og vin.
      Sikke en fest vi faldt ind i. 🥰
      Så hyggelig en "krofatter", en spasmager med et glimt i øjet.
      Vi bad om tyrkiske retter, det smagte virkelig godt. Dejlig oplevelse!Okumaya devam et

      Final night in Bordeaux

      10 Ekim 2022, Fransa ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Tonight we treated ourselves to a tasting menu at L’Observatoire Du Gabriel, a Michelin star restaurant about 10 minutes from our apartment. There was still a bit of drizzly rain about, so we took umbrellas and walked very carefully on the wet cobblestones.

      The restaurant is situated in Place De La Bourse, a very grand square which faces the Garonne river. From the moment you enter the building the staff are there to greet and assist you as needed. We were escorted to an elevator and taken up to level 2 where we were again greeted by someone who relieved us of our umbrellas and jackets.

      We were seated at our table, which was in the centre of the room. The sommelier then brought over the wine list (as big as large book) and our menu options. We could choose a 5 course or 9 course tasting menu, so elected to go for the 5 course option as we just didn’t think we could manage 9 courses. Just as well as, in addition to the 5 courses, you receive a savoury pastry, 4 appetisers, an amuse-bouche, and petite fours at the conclusion of the meal.

      We started with a glass of Krug champagne to celebrate our last night in France in this wonderful restaurant. I had never had Krug before (it was very good), so another thing ticked off on the bucket list. Poor Ian was trying to navigate his way through the massive wine ‘list’; in the end, we asked the sommelier for some assistance. As the menu was predominantly seafood based we went with a white from Château Olivier in honour of Mimi’s family. It was a Gran Cru Classé from the Pessac-Léognan region we had visited on Saturday, and turned out to be an excellent choice.

      All the decisions had now been made, so we could sit back and enjoy the wonderful ambiance, fabulous wine, delicious food, great service and, of course, the company! We started with a savoury pastry, followed by four fabulous appetisers. Next was an amuse bouche comprising grilled sardine with white beans in a vinaigrette in a crisp tart shell.

      Then began the Saturn Menu in 5 Acts: OYSTER - from Matthieu Dumas slightly vinegar, beef tartar and iodised rice cream; MUSHROOMS FROM HERE - in 3 ways, barnacles and whelks candied in a juice; EEL- lightly smoked with onion in various expressions, the chef’s signature dish; COD - cooked as a croque monsieur in a basquaise way; and, finally for dessert HONEY - from our hives, meringue and citrus emulsion, roasted fig and sangria. We had an espresso to finish the meal and were offered petite fours, but were too full so they boxed them up and we had them for breakfast. We also received a small citrus cake each and a signed copy of the menu.

      I have to applaud Ian for getting through the menu, especially the oyster course as he isn’t particularly fond of oysters or steak tartare, but he did enjoy the dish.

      The experience was wonderful from the moment we arrived until when we rolled out the door about 3+ hours later.      Okumaya devam et
