I woke up early this morning and went downstairs to organize for us to change rooms. Amy was coming to Bordeaux and we wanted to swap to a three bed room so we could stay together. So I organized that, then went back up to the room. My hayfever was a bit mental this morning, so instead of trying (and probably failing) to get back to sleep, I stayed up and packed up our bags. After that I was tired enough to get to sleep without sneezing for twenty hours, so I set...

When we woke up this morning we went for a walk into the city to find the tourist info centre so we could book a wine tour. We found our way there via a little detour down the wrong street, then when we asked about it, we were told we were at the wrong info centre! That's two info centres in one town that don't do any sort of bookings! Weird. So we got our directions to the OTHER info centre, and started to head there. We walked through a little square that had a...

I woke up a bit earlier than Darren today, so I thought I'd go take the washing and get it started.

Darren rocked up about 20 minutes before the drying was finished and we just hung out and waited. Finally, we had clean, dry clothes and we headed back to the hotel to drop th...

Today we had a big sleep in, then packed up our washing and went out to look for a laundromat. What we didn't take into account was that it was a Sunday and everything was closed... And not only closed, but it seemed the whole area was boarded up for good! So we just kept walking and came up to Place de la Victoire, where we stopped at a restaurant for some lunch. It was a bit of a fancy looking place and the prices were a little steep but we were still sick and ...

Today we stayed in bed all day. Like, all day. We hadn't given ourselves a proper chance to get better yet, so we just stayed in bed and rested. Darren left once to get a burger, then came back to bed. I spent the day updating the photos on the blog and snoozing, then at around 8pm we got up the willpower to get out of bed to go find some food. We walked around the block and found a pizza place, sat down and ordered a pizza to share. Darren started feeling really...
