We've been here in Bordeaux for three days now and it's been great. Just relaxing in the sunshine. Just chilled out on the first day as the weather was so warm. Caught the bus and tram into town the next day and wandered about the city. The centre of town is full of pedestrian streets and there are bike paths everywhere. The city is beautiful. It straddles the banks of the Garonne and is just upstream from the mouth of the Dordogne – Wine Country Central. After wandering the city we relaxed in the park on the river's edge. There is a huge level rectangular paved area that is a fountain where dozens of vertical jets shoot up into the air. But the day we were there it was just bubbling up so all the local kids could play in the water. They were having a ball.
The next day we cycled all around lake where out campground is located. It a huge area north of town adjacent to the huge exhibition centre and sports complex. It's like five Darling Harbours and a Homebush Bay thrown in for good measure. The campground even has a lake – pond really, with a little waterfall.
Its very peaceful here although it does get a little noisy of a nighttime. We don't have to worry about traffic noise because the frogs in the pond drown that out. They must be mating because the racket is unbelievable.

(Croak) No mine's bigger
(Croaky Croak) I've got a big dick and a Ferrari lilypad.
(Ribit Ribit) Bullshit, Bullshit
Well that's what it sounded like to me.
We leave here today for St Emilion, a place Tony mention as worth visiting.
Then it's off to Spain.
