Day 30 (seem to have gained a day??!) Bordeaux to La Reole 80km including search for wine.

Left the lovely city of Bordeaux. Had a glass of Bordeaux in bordeaux last night with a lovely chap, Connor, from Sheffield, here to line up years accommodation as part of his degree in French. Down the Voires Verts with a couple of stops on the way for coffee and food (early food stop as evidently not as much fuel obtained from Honey type cereal than good old porridge). Ended the Voires Verts at Sauveterre de Guyenne, a really pretty ville but with no campsite. Decision made to head south towards the River Garonne along small roads. What the map doesn't indicate is the undulation involved.

Hot today too so a couple of hills that almost provoked vomiting but got here eventually. 70km under our belt. Set up camp and rustled up pasta dish from nearly empty food sack then went in search of supermarche. In vain, as they all closed at 7.30 but this added 10km to already shattered body!!! Then found a little epicerie, still open, slightly more for wine but as site only cost 10 euro felt we deserved it.

Sun just starting to set as we sit by the river, very pretty little old town, stunning views from the hill we climbed on wine search. would return to get photo but really can't face it. Few easy days ahead down the canals and rivers to ultimate destination on Sunday to meet up with vicky, dave, Ava and Myah Farren (sorry guys spelling might be out there) so looking forward to that. as the start of a new month was going to do a little resume of highlights and low lights, but too tired, will have to wait for tomorrow.....
