Tours and Bordeaux

At this point in our journey, we began to feel like we lived in France and didn’t really have a desire to site see. We enjoyed walking around both Tours and Bordeaux and eating at great restaurants. However, we don’t have a ton to blog about because we didn’t do much sightseeing.

In short, we found a great chocolatier in Tours and so we bought some delicious french pastry and champagne to enjoy. We stayed in a cute little hotel and watched Marie Antoinette (and Enchanted which Matt hated) because we had just been to Palace of Versailles in Paris.

The buildings in Bordeaux were more modern and the city was very nice to walk through. Our favorite part of this area was walking at night along the boardwalk. Giant lanterns hang from the poles all along the water and many people are out walking, biking or rollerblading. Matt enjoyed seeing a small cruise ship because it got him excited for our cruise coming up. He wanted to know if our ship would be the same size as this “big” one. I didn’t say anything because I knew our ship was ten times bigger but wanted him to be shocked when he saw it.

We went to bed early because we knew we had a long day of sitting on a train ahead of us and had to be up super early.
