Relaxing in Bordeaux

---

It's been a cruisier couple of days just traveling from one campground to the next and then relaxing in the sunshine for the rest of the afternoon. The weather has definitely got warmer the further south we have travelled and we are now breaking out into the shorts and singlets and yes there are photos to prove it! We are now in a very nice camping ground in Bordeaux and well stocked with wine, cheese, and other supplies so we will eat well tonight and explore the town tomorrow. We have learnt that it is pointless to expect any service at shops etc between the hours of 12 noon and 3 sometimes 4 pm. It may say open at 3.30 but it's obviously an approximation. At some campgrounds it is the same; the gates are shut and you can't come in until after siesta or whatever it's called in French. It's a pretty good way to live if you ask me. I'm wondering how we can keep up this traveling lifestyle in the future. Come on in Bonus Bonds is the only plan I can come up with. At least I don't hAve to think about work for the next 5 months anyway. Life is good!!! Lots of love to everyone from Shelley and Dean.xxx

Yeah come on those bonus bonds eh. Never mind guys you will probably be sick of travelling and be looking forward to joining the mindless peasants that have to go to work and scrimp and save to get the gas to go to work. That sucks.... As Tui says 'yeah, right; Raining again today. Nice soft stuff so no problems and all your stuff is remaining dry - so far lol. The wedding the other night was on a hill in a freaking gale and there were 7 people present. For some reason that made it harder and I kept losing my page in the wind etc. All done now though but they hadn't counted on it getting wet and dark so without many lights it became a little more discomforting. Whew. Glad it's over. Supposed to be at Paparoa Market this morning but can't move too well at the moment. Hip giving gyp. What a poet I am huh. Well my darling keep up the good work of relaxing, eating and drinking. And I am sooooo envious of that cheese world you are in at the moment. Hope the petrol isn't costing too much at the moment. Pretty bad here but hey, that's life. Love ya heaps Ma xxxxx

French lifestyle
Hey, there's a fabulous French lifestyle only a short two n a half hour flight from Auck. When u guys get back one day, and feel a bit nostalgic for "la vie française" think about coming over to Nouméa. Would love to see you here. Otherwise thanks for the blog; great following your trip; sounds like you're having a great time. Look forward to next instalment. Take care and enjoy!
