Bordeaux - October 25,26,27 2006







Were we happy to get back to France? You better believe it. We cheered silently to ourselves when the train crossed from the Basque country into France. The relief flooded through us as France is sane, friendly and exciting, although it does sound as though we didn't enjoy the Basque country, which, to be fair, is not true as we really only took the train through there......it is just that we really enjoy France, so were glad to be back.

Bordeaux itself is a beautiful place, filled with great buildings, interesting shops, wonderful restaurants and a revamped city centre that proved stylish and easy to walk around.
There was also a carnival in town, which was interesting enough, from a visual point of view and we took a few pics of the ferris wheel.

What wasn’t good about Bordeaux?

Nothing. Well, a restaurant we had seen on Rick Stein was rude to us when we rocked up for lunch, but, hey, whatever, they can stick their restaurant…plenty more great restaurants to spend our cash in!

Bordeax is a brilliant place.

Brilliant food, brilliant architecture, etc etc etc.

We walked around, did some shopping, took loads of photos and generally speaking, had a brilliant time.
We suggest a visit to Bordeax would be well worth it, especially to see Australia play in the 2007 Rugby World Cup!
