I’ll start today’s post with what we had for dinner last night, yes, it’s all about the food!
Prawns with saffron rice
Pink pike with pumpkin risotto and spinach
Turkey with potatoes, carrots and snow peas
Floating Island
And Vanilla ice cream
I order one dish and my sister orders another and we share both, so we get a taste of everything😊. After dinner we went upstairs to the lounge and had a hoot listening and dancing to great music, helped along by these. That glass of Armagnac lasted me all night, smooth but lethal.
Because of not being able to travel up the river, we have stayed docked in Bordeaux, which is really such a bonus, oh my goodness, what a beautiful city. It is easy to navigate and every building is just so wonderful to look at, a vista where ever you look. So, after breakfast we headed out on our own to explore this beautiful city. Our goal was to walk over the stone bridge that was actually preventing us from travelling up river, it didn’t look that far and the weather looked like it would hold. On the way we past an amazing market place selling everything you could possibly need, in the way of fresh groceries. Meat, fish, bread, fruit , veggies, salt and oysters, here are some photos to whet your appetite. Notice the complete lack of plastic bags😊everyone bought baskets, bags, boxes and shopping trolleys to bring home their fresh produce.
Here’s what we saw along the walk to that stone bridge-
We made we half way across that stone bridge before turning around due to it turning very cold and rainy. Well at least we got over half of it! We then made a beeline for the ship, getting back at 1pm for a late lunch. It was planned to have a roof top BBQ, but due to the rain it was bought downstairs to the dining room. After lunch we headed out again, to the outlet factory shops along the boulevard, of course we went into every kitchen shop we found, such lovely quality products. We bought a few handy kitchen items that I will share with you on a later post.
Till tomorrow,
Fi
