Day 45: 2/21 Bordeaux




中午不到进了波而多,把车停在了中心广场的地下停车场,走出停车场,看见为carvinal临时搭起的各式各样的碰碰车,旋转木马,让高高和得得对波而多的第一印象非常好。一家餐馆前排着长长的队,是来法国后,看见的排队最长的一个餐馆,急于去看这座城市,就不去凑热闹了。

饭后第一站:carvinal
高高登上了高有四层楼的滑梯,很是骄傲,得得羡慕的看着,没敢上去。刚刚滑下来,去休息的看门人回来了,看见高高,指指牌子上的年龄限制,违规了,这更让高高格外的骄傲。

第二站:大教堂,波而多历史博物馆


第三站:寻找晚餐
6点不到,我们都饿了,决定去吃饭。再次偶遇中午那家门庭若市的餐馆,门口有几个人在等,这次我们也凑凑热闹吧。一问,才知道,7:30才开门,要等一个多小时,算了吧。在市中心转了一圈,开着门的都是喝酒的地方,最后还是决定排队。排在我们后面的一对夫妇也是带着小孩渡春假,很热情的和我们聊天,说这个餐馆是个连锁,只在巴黎,波而多,和南特有,而且南特的那家从来不用排队!如果好吃,我们再去南特的那家吧!

进了餐馆,准备好好看看菜单,但服务员很热情的解释,本店不用点菜,因为没的选,就是一个餐前沙拉,和经典主菜:牛排配特色酱汁和法式署条。简单好,省去了选择的烦恼。


从牛排店出来,穿过市中心找预定好的酒店,就在老城的城墙外,店老板很耐心的等待我们的到来,把我们安顿好,下班了。

Day 44: 2/20/2015 Banyuls -> Sales -> Toulous

高高得得对捡贝壳有无限的热情,一大早就要求出海喽!


地中海小城的水族馆,我们看的津津有味,一种能拟色的比目鱼是个新发现,从没在其他地方见过。



Visied Sales: a spanish castle with a lot of French local visitors on the way to Toulous.



toulous 是我们回程的中转站,到达已经傍晚8点了,最重要的事莫过于吃上 一碗冰淇淋,喝上一杯咖啡。

离开甜点店的时候,摔坏了手机,还在新年中,算是“岁岁平安”吧,但要有一阵子很有选择的照相了:-(

Day 42 & 43: 2/18 - 2/19/2015 Queribus & Banyuls


passed by this village on the way to ruin Queribus, it is so beautiful that we had to stop.

 followed the sign to the hidden abbye

almost walked through all narrow lanes of the village trying to find a place to eat!  finally we found one, which turned out to be the only one open in town - Easton call it a lucky day for us



it took us quite a while to find where we were suppoed to stay overnight.  it is at the foot of the mountain and it is such a small village, without road signs.  but we absolutely fell in love of the place right away.

关于乡村旅店的老板和老板娘:
来自诺曼底,2004年自己盖起了主题小木屋,我们住在象牙海岸主题屋,家具全部来自宜家,装饰品是他们旅行多年收集起来的,摆出来和住客分享,别具用心,让这个一晚的小家很温馨,高高得得说“我喜欢这个家!”

老板以在附近的山中寻找天然盆雕为生,热情地邀请我们去参观他的盆雕室,据他的估计,有些天然盆雕,如果人工盆雕要上百年的时间才能修成。


 dinner at the only restaurant in the small village.  it is a sweet surprise for us that the owner can speak fluent english.


left the village early in the morning and arrived at Colliur at noon.  easton and jake started to dig for shells right away.

Day#40-2/16: Road Trip to South - LOT valley

Cahors--> St- Cirq Lapopie---> Albi


Had breakfast at a local bakery store.  as always, Easton and Jake are quite happy with plain french baguette:-)

Cahors is not a tourist city at all, quite lively though!  visited its historical bridge in town.  we were the only visitors there.

small village in Lot Valley: St- Cirq Lapopie
drive along very winy mountain road and finally got on top of the mountain, where the villiage is located.

 在这家小店买了一些土特产,高高得得为拿到的小小纪念品兴奋不已。









  吃中饭喽!鸭脖子灌肉和罐焖猪肉,都是当地特产,吃得心满意足。


下午到了阿而比,关门前到劳德雷克美术馆小转。


正赶上当地的carnival, 那就玩起来吧。
