Today we left Paris
for Bordeaux.
Our first stop was a
little village called Blois. We
got off the bus and walked to the “main” square where we were allowed to wander
off and explore the village for 20 minutes. Being Sunday there wasn’t much open but we all wandered
around taking photos before all ending up in the one coffee shop that was open
and had our caffeine fix before heading back to our meeting place in the main
square.
We hung around the
main square to see the “dragons” appear from the Magic Museum dedicated to
Houdini (not the one we know… he apparently took the name after the
“original”). Well 11 o’clock came
and like a cuckoo clock dragons appeared out of the windows to some eerie music.
Back on the bus again
our next stop was Tours where we took advantage of having our lunch at Macca’s…..
free wifi! Fortunately there was
also some wine tasting event going on in the main square. A group of us went over and paid 5 Euro
for our glass and wandered around sampling a few of the wines before being
herded back onto the bus for Bordeaux.
What a let down
Bordeaux was! We arrived at our
hotel to an included dinner and told we could walk to a nearby church if we
wanted. Nothing was organised. A lot of us were hoping for some wine
tasting but alas Bordeaux was nothing more of a pitstop. Cosmos need to either cut it out of the
itinerary or do something there.
I’m sure there would be heaps to see / do / drink there but we didn’t
get to experience any of it :o(
