This weekend is a big weekend in the region and so accommodation has been tough to get. We ended up going for Plan D and heading to Libourne. This is a bit of a larger town not too far from Bordeaux.
We booked into a good hotel to get a good bed for Elizabeth's back as it's starting to play up.
Coming out of St-Émilion we followed a route suggested by the tourist office for a while, but as they has trouble with their lefts and rights, we ended up abandoning the thought and made our own route. More great scenery, more vines, more sticky roads. We even passed a Menhir, one of the ancient standing stones just out of Libourne. You can find a lot more of these in north-west France - and in Asterix books.
We went for a walk through the town and stumbled across a local fashion parade.
The weather is colder and slightly drizzly, so an afternoon rest was in order.
Tomorrow takes us to Bordeaux and the end of our cycling. Hopefully the weather will be ok and we'll pick up a good cycling track that leads into Bordeaux.
