The last ride of the tour is always filled with mixed feelings. Sadness that all good things must end, anticipation of going home, newly developed memories… And of course – there are always more Chateaux to see.
Fall is in the air (8 degrees overnight) so we lingered over breakfast chatting with our most gracious and kind hosts. Back on the road it was an easy ride to Bordeaux passing over some of the roads we had been on coming north. Not much new and notable except an open water swimming race on the outskirts of Bordeaux, and a very easy transition into the city on separated bike paths.
After hanging about on the busy Bordeaux waterfront, people watching and cooling our feet in the miroir d’eau we rode the final kilometer. We were welcomed back to the B&B where we began by our genial host, and where our bike case was waiting for us, a very comfortable lodging. Bordeaux seemed to be quite alive with people for a Sunday evening and we had no problem finding an open restaurant, in this case Moroccan for a couscous and tagine (and Moroccan wine).
Our final day in Bordeaux was spent disassembling our vélo and repacking for a train/plane trip home. We also managed to visit a few more sites in the city including the Musée des Beaux-Arts and some more églises. It is easier to absorb the city and it’s attractions when you are not jet lagged, maybe something to consider for future trips.
Nous espérons un bon voyage à Calgary et d’autres voyages dans les années à venir.
