Day 68 Bordeaux

5 July
I love France for the fact you can go and buy fresh hot croissants from the bakery 2 doors down for breakfast! Today we walked the main tourist areas of Bordeaux and saw St Andre, Rue St Catherine (the main shopping street), the musee d'Aquitaine, the Esplanade des Quinconces, and the public gardens. We also went to the wine museum and tasted a local red and white as well as learning a lot about the wine region and how to taste wine. In the afternoon we stopped by the river and had a rest under the trees before heading home. We are both feeling the effects of the last two months, both a bit tired and run down but trying to keep the momentum up for the home stretch. For dinner we had another home cooked meal of pasta. The photos show our picnic spot in the garden and the wine museum.
