Bordeaux - beautiful city

I can highly recommend La Tupina for a meal if you're still there.

In port in Bordeaux - any AFFers on board

If anyone can work out what time it leaves on the 26th that would be great because apparently the bridge lifts from pulleys and we'd like to sit on the bank and watch it go through the bridge

TIA

The dilemma is that there is a very good rated restaurant 20 m from our apartment and to get to yours we'd need to take a tram to La Tupina and we're getting very weary

Fair call. A holiday is about relaxing after all. If you don't go, here's a taster

The bridge is raised via a pulley system and the ship just sails under it

Bordeaux - beautiful city

I am going there in April next year, right before we come back to Australia. Looks lovely.

Had a walk in Port Macquarie this morning. Quite a few tourists around but not many at the beach. The Sydney Sixers were having a free clinic for youngsters. Last photo shows the effect of only 16mm of rain since start of July

Love those pink frangipanis! I tried to grow them once, and completely failed. Not the first plant I have failed with, and probably won't be the last.

Frangipanis are pretty damn tough But I did kill a rubber tree once !!!
