• Bordeaux Last Day

    Last night we ventured out to the nearby neighbourhood to seek nightlife of sorts. We had an enjoyable wine at a tapas bar which also sold interesting cheese. We resisted that and walked on to find the La Bocca restaurant. Yes, it was Italian but we really enjoyed sharing a plate of pasta with truffle sauce and the tomato/mozzarella/salad/avocado entree. Needless to say, I was extra excited that we saw the handsome star of CALL MY AGENT (Asaad Bouab) walking down the street towards us!! See photo! We then did a lovely after-dinner walk around the gorgeous neighbourhood of Notre Dame (and yes there is a church), then along the riverfront.

    This morning after breakfast we got the tram initially to PLACE DE LA BOURSE - which is a great square of buildings. Unfortunately, the water was not on in order to see the famous reflection. After that, we went on to the train station to pick up our last hired car. All went well for pick up but once we got on the road the GPS was playing up again - and there were road closures and deviations - annoying BUT the amazing Craig got us and the car safe and sound home and into the car park.

    We had lunch at Vatel - which is the nearby training hotel/restaurant - with creative and tasty food.
