Paris to Bordeaux

---

---

Left Paris and headed for Bordeaux. Stopped at a little village Amboise for morning tea and a wee look around. It had a castle where Leonardo Davinchi was the architect. He was also buried here. Lovely village.
Next stop is Tours (Toose), had a look at an old church and went for lunch. 30cel today. France has 63 Nuclear Power stations. We drove past one.

We reached Bordeaux around 6pm, long day on the road 600km. Had trouble reaching the hotel as there was a traffic jam. May have been an accident, don't know for sure.

The streets are very narrow so there is not a lot of room to pass. After tea we had a wander around to see some of the sights. The architecture is very much like Paris because Paris copied Bordeaux.

It is very beautiful. The country side is very flat, lots of crops very few stock. We haven't seen very many animals at all. There are a lot of crops of sunflowers, corn and vineyards. We are in the wine capital after all..... Apart from Italy.

Here is something interesting.... Bordeaux is a sea port 100km inland.
