2 Hour drive up from Biarritz (lots of tolls we are in France!) €17.80 booked in. Bus down to the tram and tram into Bordeaux tickets €1.50 for an hour of travel. Had a wander about the mirror not working, the fountain not working and lots of the public toilets not working the one we found that worked is an improvement on 9 years ago its free now, the human statue first time we passed was texting the second he was smoking! The Juggler kept dropping his balls! (Saw a comment on the web that is perfect (Bordeaux must mean boredom in some ancient language. If I were offered a free trip to that town, I’d stay home and clean the fridge. )Had a look at the new bridge Pont Jacques Chaban-Delmas walked along to the grand theater and down Rue Sainte Catherine.  Lots of itinerants here. This is not a place that impresses me at all. No Wow factor here. Hope I can find something to photograph tomorrow!

Run this morning then into Bordeaux lunchtime for a walkabout. Held up for a while as a tram broke down when this happens it’s all stop until the breakdown truck arrives to tow the tram away…. they put the tow bar on the wrong side of the tram? So that had to be moved interesting.
