Day 6
Saint Emilion that was our mission today. We left early and got there in just over an hour. Fields and fields of vines and beautiful chateaux.
Cobbled streets pretty shops, bars, cafes, hotels and restaurants.
Poor Melanie has been sick with flu but managed to enjoy a little scenery. We followed the road up through the high street and everybody was staring at us. We thought maybe because our number plate was strange to the area and then we came to a dead end with no entry signs everywhere. Yes the reason everybody was staring was because we had gone up the main high street the wrong way! Once we finally turned around one French man had a right old chuckle. With Melanie still felling poorly we decided to head back to the gite.
We had cooked a nice pork stew in our slow cooker together with onion mash potato and thick gravy. It was perfect to have on this cold autumn day.
Tomorrow we are off to Petit Bersac to visit the chateau where our Christmas fair will be held. We can't wait to see Richard and his beautiful home again.
