Day 28 Lacanau Ville to Bordeaux 50km

Voires verts all the way, Nice easy cycle, with lunch stop in the most lovely grounds to social security building i have ever seen, into beautiful city of Bordeaux. Once established that no real camping potential found through tourist info Auberge jeunnesse which is we assume the halls of residence for the uni used as accommodation for the summer. really great place 46 euro for a double, close to the town centre, spotless with brilliant security for the bikes and in general, and breakfast and use of kitchen. As we settled into Room 101 :/ plan was made and dave went out painting.

About 8pm i followed him out to the fountain in the centre of the front of the old town where a decidedly tense dave was attempting to paint with a dentally challenged man of the street and water colour artist himself, Didier, was sat by his side, drinking, smoking, advising dave on his technique and most importantly probably deterring any potential clientele. After 10 mins of me being there, perhaps my more dismissive aura, he moved on. After which Dave then turned and said "lesson learnt, you can't be nice to everyone".

Packed up and back to Auberge, where, I have to admit to this, whilst I prepared our soup initially I was offered left over pasta in a pan which i accepted gladly, obviously very gladly, as they then offered me there left overs on the plate and I took it!!!!!! Dave looked on in astonishment and it was only as I finished i realised really what i had done!!!!!!Anyway they seemed nice young women and i was starving!

not sure why am pulling this face but lovely grounds for council workers
