At three this morning we were awoken by loud thumping music. Pump up the volume why don't you! Music from a venue on a Sunday night. Why? Whose attending this, and what about the good people of Bordeaux who have to go off to work in a few hours, not to mention all of us on the campsite paying twenty nine euros for a peaceful nights sleep. It wouldn't be so bad if it was music we could relate to. This was more 'Highway to Hell', rather than, 'Boogie Wonderland'. It finished at five thirty. Please god don't let there be a repeat performance tonight. Of course we rose late, around nine thirty. But we had nothing too rush for having been to Bordeaux many times before we could take our time. The temperature was rising, reaching 25 c by lunchtime when we cycled down to the waterfront.
A large cruise ship both dominated and ruined the view. Angela loves Bordeaux. She particularly loves the architecture, and makes a point of always looking up. We people watched, ate ice cream, walked around the old town, stopped by at the cathedral and as the youngsters say, 'just chilled'.
Bordeaux is really bicycle friendly and the ride in and out of the city is relatively easy. John however, is starting to wish he'd perhaps bought a more comfortable saddle rather than blag a free one. He also wished he'd invested in new cycling the shorts, the elastic in his no longer holding up around the waist. Think of poor Angela, she's following behind him as they slip!
Back at Marge we have new neighbours. Thankfully the Dutch from yesterday have left. chain smoking and rap music not something we'd ever associated with the Dutch. Our new neighbours are from Belgium. If there's one thing the Belgium's don't like, it's people thinking they speak French. So John all confident offered them a bonsoir. It's the same with the Portuguese, they hate people thinking their language is Spanish. Opposite us is a large motorhome with a scooter housed in the 'garage' at the rear. They've taken camping to a whole new level. tablecloth and table lamps. As you do!
