This was just a typical scene we encountered.
Some vistas evoked visions of a different time period.
With more time, John could have ridden for hours. Given all the food he has been eating lately, that was probably needed.
We finished the ride with a large climb up a cobblestone path. Narelle did a fab job going up this climb.
We then set off for Bordeaux. Armed with our new found confidence in our navigational capabilities, we told our GPS unit (aka Gina) to find us some shops so we could stock up for a few days. It delivered us to the front door of the shops, only for us to discover that it was smaller than a local seven-eleven store.
We then stumbled inadvertently on to a large shopping centre just down the road. Narelle was in heaven! After many an hour spent here, we headed off towards Pau.
Along the way, the rain set in, and we decided to head straight to Bagneres-de-Bigorre. This was to be our base for a couple of days.
The Tour finishes here Sunday night, and passes by again on Monday. So it will be a great place to soak up le Tour. A magnificent shopping centre car park will be home for a short while.
John had found the driving (and the shopping) to be particularly draining today, so looked forward to a good nights sleep.
The bottle of bordeaux red certainly helped that cause. We thought this bottle was from the St. Emillion region. Turns out that was incorrect. We’ll just have to buy another bottle of bordeaux red to correct this error.
