A leisurely start, a quick tour/ride through Bordeaux, then on to Lourdes, that supposed mecca for all Catholics. The place looks great but there are so many, so hopeful people in wheelchairs etc. Interesting titbit, the Catholic authorities built one cathedral on top of another cathedral, literally. Talk about overkill! Then there's one over there (really just a big barn to pack more people in), & another cathedral over the river!
A v nice dinner tonight- I knew I shouldn't have had that dessert & the wine. We took a wander round some of the shops, so much, so same, so twee. Then another wine, & here I am writing my blog.
Tomorrow Spain. There's snow on the Pyrenees! This is spring?
Bonne nuit.
