it is a grayer day here
16° now
heading for 18° and rainy afternoon
packing up our huge and heavy backpacks
then off to visit two wineries
so we did the winery thing with five other ladies and a tour guide named Bruno
we went to the first one
it was lovely
has been around since 1760's
still family run -- not the same family
and it was a great tour
the 2nd one is owned by a huge conglomerate
and was big and nice
beautiful chateau
great tour
they served a tasting of a wine that cost €115
one was called Chateau Lascombes,
Melanie really enjoyed that
it was a horribly rainy day
we got back to Bordeaux
had a great lunch
then collected our bags for our train journey
our train was 45 minutes delayed
the two people directly facing us were coughing and blowing their noses and sneezing
I hope we don't get it (and luckily we didn't)
in Bayonne now
huge walk to the hotel
met a father/daughter set of hikers from Ottawa
they are staying at the same hotel as us (turns out he is a friend/colleague of Kathy Armstrong, what an incredibly small world)
we are off to lose some weight from our bags
and set off for St Jean in the morning
