Saint Emilion

We have hit the Bordeaux region now, famous for it's wine growing. Wow, nothing but vineyards to be seen. Row after row after row. Some trimmed neatly and other left to go a little wild. Workers busy tending to the grapes which will be harvest in not too long. Found an Ibis to stay in and boy the shower felt great after 3 days of pommie washing and sleeping in the car. I must smell, I just can't smell it as I must have got use to it. Did a clean up of clothing etc, will need to start throwing things so only limited stuff is left for the return journey.

The day started misty and has now cleared to a hot sunny day as we took a drive to Saint Emilion. This place is beautiful, just filled with Vin Caves and degustation (tasting). Must be a hundred at least in a small vicinity. Cobble streets and old building added character to the place. This is the area "Tu Seras Mon Files"(You will be my son) the French movie was shot. It is a dream to visit this place as we have watched this movie a few times.

Back to the Ibis to watch the final 20k of the Tour up Hautecam, Nibali just too good at the moment. Local wine and tinned veggies for dinner, not much on TV so a bit of internet and a good comfortable night sleep.
