Les Hauts De Sarlat Sarlat-la-Canéda

... losing it over nothing.

It chucked it down again on the way back and we were saturated by the time we got back to Scooby... So maybe he had the last laugh.

Then on the way back along the road to Scooby some idiot intentionally drove through a puddle to splash Kim... Don't like this town at all, it's full of pric...meanies

Another pretty little village this time famous for its red brick houses. A little more life than the last few villages and even a few shops open, one of which specialised in foie gras. As this is foie gras territory we did as the locals do and bought ourselves some which we will enjoy one night with one of the remaining bottle of champagne we still have in Scooby.

... at the cafes and it's anywhere from 4,50-7,10 (that's eros, so add a **** ton of dollars to that, AND no free refills). The "ruins" were to far away for our time crunch so i didn't get to them, but we went to an old cathedral where the knights of templar used to hang out alot. It was neato. I'll post more soon. Miss and love you all.

We left the bordeaux region today for the dordogne valley - the ancient town of Sarlat - waaaay medieval-
I've determined that there is not enough of france to walk in to justify the amount of food we've been eating...oof. We havent even had any pastries or creme brulee we're so full from lunch and dinner!
we"ll post more in the matin!
Bonne Nuit!

We spent the entire afternoon canoeing down the Dordogne. We packed a lunch and found a nice spot along the river to enjoy some wine and cheese. It was so peaceful and beautiful. Every couple of Kilometers was anothe castle overlooking the river. The river was so flat that we could just float along and enjoy the view.

From the cousins house we moved further west to Neils parents house. They have a place in a beautiful old town. It is an old walled vilage on the hilltop overlooking the valley. The village is full of cobblestone streets, windy narrow alleys and cute little homes. We ate great meals, enjoyed excellent wine and spent time with Neils parents. thank you again for hosting us!

... nature of my train connections tomorrow, she suggested that I buy a ticket ahead of time, so I grabbed a gelato and was off to the train station. Back in town afterward, I had some trouble deciding on dinner tonight, as most places have nearly identical menus - not that what I had last night wasn't great, it's just that I wanted something different this evening. I wandered around for a good 40 minutes, hemming and hawing, coming back to a number of restaurants ...

... again! It's funny how I find eating food in Spain such a chore, but here in France, it's an absolute pleasure. Perhaps I need to live on the Spanish side of the Spain/France border, so that I can just drive over to France for dinner.

The service was also top-notch - a few times I caught other wait staff looking over me, and immediately informed my waiter if my plate was ready to be cleared, or if it appeared that I needed anything. I can't say it was ...

... slow dried tomatoes, home made icecream, fillet my own fish and a wonderful selection of sauces and dressings. Thankyou Chef Jim!

Flew back into Tripoli to be greated by many masks and doctors, they are determined not to get swine flew here, fare enough but I felt I should be the one wearing a mask as I just read in the paper there is the Plague in the country. No kidding!

Stayed here in Biarritz - thought we would treat ourselves after the rough camping. Very nice indeed! LUXURY indeed.
