(19km)

I had already decided from the day before that I would spend at least a day in Bordeaux. So I woke up when I was ready to, took my time, chatted a little more with the English cyclists and then made my way to the town center.

It is indeed a very beautiful city, with the big river of Garonne crossing it and dozens of pedestrianized streets in the center full of old buildings. I spend most of the day wondering around the center, getting lost in the alleys and looking into the nice shops. It’s always very interesting to go back to a lively and busy city after spending so much time by my self in the country side.

The city had plenty of those gates

Many alleys like this one

Being in a big city was a good opportunity for me to buy a couple of things I needed. I bought the next two maps and I finally managed to buy a stove and several supplies, with which I made my first warm dinner that will make my mom proud.

Maps to go all around the globe
