Bordeaux

Another rest day in Bordeaux. The strike means that our train trip to les Ezyies de Tayrac has to wait another day as it is uncertain whether the bus will accept bikes. Well another day in Bordeaux is not so bad. We change hotels after a sleep in and make our way to the railway end of town. A pique nique  on the banks of the Garonne in warm sun enables a nice rest for Pony on a park bench. Then a leisurely ride the length of the esplanade before the second piano of the musee aquitaine. Then home for another rest in our new hotel, the bikes safely locked at the bottom of a five story stairwell along with rubbish... more strike action..

The display today of the relics of slavery was disturbing.

Breakfast at a Paul's outlet was delicious.
Slowly health is returning to Pony's nose with the help of some decongestifs. Tomorrow we will try again for the grottes de lascaux.
