No cycling! I had a wander around the town in the morning, topped up my stock of maps and bought a new inner tube (just in case). Also stumbled across a map of the cycle path from Bordeaux to Toulouse along the Canal de la Garonne produced by the tourist office, Really useful! I am carrying about a ton of maps but it’s almost impossible to get a joined up view of the route. In the afternoon I took the shuttle out to the airport to meet Laura. Luckily the shuttle takes bikes in bags as luggage to no need to unpack her bike and cycle it back. Bordeaux is a great place to cycle in – but be warned, they hand out tickets to bikes as well as to cars!
The weather was still beautiful and the evening was warm and delightful. We had a wander round the town in the evening and ate outdoors in one of the squares. I’ve been to Bordeaux so many times for work but I’ve never had a chance to explore the centre properly. There was a major football match on that night but no problems in the town centre.
