Well, this will be my last entry. I was hoping to have updated more than i did, but i also thought i'd have far more internet than i did! Oh well, i think you've all got a picture of what it was like over here and i'm sad and ready to come back. here's a few more pics to leave you with and i'll be sure to let everyone see all 1,000 pictures we took! See you all soon! <br><br>Au revoir!!<br>

Not much to say here, but what a cool old city. We tasted some amazing wines and picked some to bring back. We wandered around town and drank more wine. Then it was up to the old tower to check out the view and drink my heineken on the street! Day seized. <br>

We spent our first day in Bordeaux relaxing and wandering around the city. Ate a few baguettes. <br><br>The next day we caught a train to St Emilion to check out the beautiful little village.<br><br>On our last day we did a wine tour of Medoc ...

... 8217;ll begin to feel alcohol effects. <br><br>A few spare grapes spill out of the trucks as they labour down the roads holding up impatient traffic. These make a fun game for the bicycles to see if I can aim to run over the little balls and &#8216;pop&#8217; out the juice as we go along. But so many are crushed by a multitude of vehicles that the road becomes sticky with ...

... was the only thing I picked up from an assortment of French conversations. It worked out and we spent a couple of hours near the beach in Biaritz. We had a picnic lunch at the top of a rock island overlooking the ocean and the town before making our way back to Bayonne. We did a bit more bike touring in town before we locked them up and turned in our keys. There wasn't always a clear bike path ...

... Now, my second clubbing experience. The 5 of us, me and 4 girls, went to the beach to have some drinks. An interesting cultural aspect I noticed is that the Europeans don't drink as fast as I've experienced at home. This probably relates back to the fact that it's not so Taboo to drink in Europe as it is in America. After the beach, it was about 00:30, we went to a club. At the ...

... is visibly drunk like you would see in downtown Chico and it's a much more mature setting. We walked throughout Bayonne and I took some pictures of the beautiful city at night. Slept in Thursday. Around 14:00 (yes, I work on a 24 hour clock now). In just a couple days, my French has got incredibly better. I speak about 95% French with Coralie and her friends. They speak about 85% French when responding to ...

... sign one piece of paper, then they left us - alone &amp; completely out of control! We found a car park, caught our breath (only 1 'wrong side of the road'!) and decided to plan our trip. We decided to head for Stage 4 of the tour - the Time Trial in Cholet. We plugged it into the Sat Nav (clearly the best thing we would purchase on this trip!) and 7 hours later, we were there. We hadn't stopped for supplies cause we wanted to arrive in time to set up ...

20th May 08 I was up early and couldn't wait to see the sights of Bayonne. I was here last year in July and just past through and promised myself to return to see this wonderful city.... I should say first that the reason I'm in Bayonne is to make my way to Saint Jean Pied de Port and begin another Camino de Santiago, but I have plenty of time and want to spend a couple of days here first. Bayonne is split into two halfs..Petite Bayonne and Grand Bayonne its ...
