Beautiful Bordeaux - Day 23

The rain was steady this morning, so we opted for a late breakfast in L'hotel. The staff here are delightful and breakfast was great. They even had some homemade cake to take back to the room for afternoon tea.

Suitably full, we managed to negotiate day tickets for the trams that run past our hotel and get you all over town. Ethos jumped off at main stop Quinconces, while Thorns decided to ride the wild rails for a while. We also spent some time using these excellent trams to get around.

Stopped for a while at the outlet shops along the quay ( guess who chose that) and had nice salad for lunch. I did my only shopping at an incredible wine shop that had a spiral staircase going up to heaven and surrounded by many famous wines.

Bought a couple to share with Thorns in our courtyard before a local dinner.

Our courtyard with its own wine centre.

Fabulous tramways, few cars and lots of pedestrian ways
