Moving on - third leg of the trip

Hello all. Back again. Never thought would miss internet so, so much.... Why, oh why, are the French not into it?
We have arrived at Villereal in the Lot and Garone area and the village is lovely. A really old medieval place with a large covered market in the centre of it. Still want to have lunch out on Sunday and everywhere was closed. Sunday is really a family day in rural France. C'est la vie.

I don't think I enthused about my short visit to La Rochelle. We felt we were on a holiday within a holiday. beautiful sunshine, by the sea. Ile de re is fabulous. Lots of people. Civilisdation at long last and we arrived on St. Jean's day, which is party night. We even followed a Brazilian band around town. Reminded me of Jacinta. We loved it there.

Not much of interest to tell, but we are having a great time and always surprised that everywhere we get to, there is loads to see. here is amazing, there is so much to visit that we are not sure if 4 weeks are enough.
We did a 4 1/2 hour walk around Civray too last week and blisters apart - I had to walk bare foot by the end of it, it was great... We got a bit lost too.

French coming along slowly. Managed to have my hair cut and book a waxing, so can't be bad.....

Au revoir, vive Brasil, vive La France and au revoir England.....

  1. Hi Vera - Ca va?
    You seem to be settled in to your tour now. First leg of ours is booked.
    Surprised you can't find the food you crave - you need to start asking the locals where to eat! Best place we ate in Paris was tucked away somewhere you'd never have looked - friends took us.
    Perhaps as well there's no ready internet access as it sounds like you might spend the evening on it! You could try hotels / sports clubs for free access . . .
    Viva la culture!

    Love Linda
