Woke late after an amazing sleeping the giant bed with the giant plasma screen. Weather still on and off and mostly off. Checked out and friendly chap gave us the the low down of what to do in 4 hours. To be honest, we could stay here a month we love it so much. Visited the cathedral and opera house which is dinky but has a full programme. Worshipped at the Apple store then walked around the river front as the weather improved. The place de bourse was lively with children playing in the mist of the mirror pool before periodically it filled with water creating the perfect mirror for the beautiful buildings.

Dinner was a pizza at a local pizzeria. It was tres delicious and the madam entertained by singing opera as she served. The love for Bordeaux deepened. It has great transport, food, culture and an Apple store for gawds sake. I can really picture us living here. However, we have to leave sadly and headed to the car for our journey to La Rochelle.
