| Pascal - he fed us for the past week |
Rain and cool in Bordeaux, clear, sunny and 21 degrees when we arrive in Bristol.
Regret is not how I feel getting off of the boat today - no
end of vacation sadness I often feel when heading home from Mexico or some
other shorter vacation. I’m not happy to be leaving, but I’m ready for the next
leg of this journey. Although it’s been a great 7 days on the boat it’s also
been very busy - I’m ready to hang out in a pub for a while.

| small but efficient |
Our plan was to spend the morning before our flight with
perhaps a stroll in town or sitting on the boat’s sun deck, but there is NO sun
this morning. We hung out in the boat’s lounge instead. The weather forecast seems
like it’ll be better in England than it is here today at least. I’m hoping
Chris will soften a bit more to the idea of spending more time in the UK…I don’t
love the rain, but like the cool gloominess and accompanying lushness compared
to blazing hotness.

| good sized bed - called it a double, but it is K sized |
I realized when doing using the en-suite laundry facilities
(the sink) last night that I could get by with 2 outfits. As long as the fabric
is thin enough things dry overnight. I don’t get sick of clothes and would be
happy having less to deal with. I also feel a sense of satisfaction when all of
my clothes are clean.
I tried to get some boat shots to remember where we’d spent
a week of our lives.
Getting to Bristol was an adventure in itself. We flew with Easyjet, one of the UK's discount airlines. The check-in, security and bag drop off was in what seemed like an old hanger. It worked, but was interesting. Although to us there seem to be little rhyme not reason, it all works and soon we were in the air.
Getting to the hotel was entirely more difficult. There is a hot-aiir baloon festival in town coupled with the fact that there is only one taxi company that either is allowed to go to the airport or who chooses to go to the airport it too us forever. In fact, it took us longer to get a taxi and get to the hotel than it did to fly from Bordeaux to Bristol.
Anyway...we are here and settled in.
