Early this morning the sweet smell of pain chocolate filled the air. But sadly not for us. When we're cycling we wouldn't think twice about eating two or three for breakfast each day. But we're not on a cycling holiday. So eggs and cereal it is for us. We are still playing a waiting game for our package. It has cleared customs, good to know, and is somewhere near Paris. How long it will take to reach Bordeaux who knows? So tomorrow we are thinking of moving over to the nearby coast for a few days and returning to Bordeaux on Monday as the campsite here is around twenty six pounds a night. Once again today was going to be hot, around 26 c. One of the tram stops yesterday had been the Public Gardens, and wanting to avoid the heat of the day we decided to visit.
So bikes ready and lunched packed we set off. What a beautiful green space, with a botanical garden that sadly could have done with some much needed TLC. But overall the park was pretty with lots of shade. So for a few hours we people watched and read. Just before leaving a French lady whose husband had recently died and was going to move to Richmond in England to be nearer to her daughter talked for a while. Did we like Bordeaux. Angela flippin' loves it. Especially the buildings. The lady agreed the architecture was stunning. And to top off our cycle out, just across the road was a bike shop Angela had seen featured on the internet. 'Les Velos de Marge'.
Well we just had to take a photograph didn't we, and not just of us with our Brompton bicycles outside, but of Angela with Marge. Brilliant!
An example of John's all time favourite campervan is near us on the campsite, a Westfalia Florida.
