Bordeaux

 Monday 26/09/22

Not too much to report today; we had a disturbed night's sleep in spite of the fact that the town turned into a ghost town once the border shoppers left.  

Unfortunately, the (we think, rather drunk) couple in a neighbouring motorhome had a blazing row in the middle of the night which, when you live in a motorhome, gets shared with all those around you.  We assume too much duty-free alcohol was the main culprit as we saw them drinking earlier but apart from the noise, it didn't affect us.

Relic of a pre-EU period, a border crossing in the middle of town.

We left quite early and took a relatively boring drive to the campsite south of Bordeaux, once you've seen your first 100 pine trees next to a motorway, you've seen them all!  

The campsite is tiny and nestled in the suburbs but it is 500m away from the bus stop that we need to get into the city so suits us perfectly.

We prefer the safety of a campsite when visiting cities

We've had a long walk around the area, done our laundry and ablutions and are getting ready for our Bordeaux city trip tomorrow.
