We sat at PE airport en route to France !!!! We met our tour buddies (Andri wen reviews and Susan) in Bordeaux. wen reviews Then Taxi to Jarnac where we get our boat. Yes, we're going to drive canal boat sailing in the west of France. It sounds unreal, because the time has gone so quickly the past 8 months. But now we sit here, we have flights to JHB 15 min delay but our flight from Johannesburg was only 23h20. Follow our adventures on this blog. We'll try it on a daily basis to date. I go photos and videos trying to upload. Sept 1 - It's 8h55 SA time. We're almost there! For me sleep was scarce, but the flight was very pleasant. Elizna longer sleep and she feels good.
Two excited reisegers. Our flight to Bordeaux with 15mn retarded! (Read Dutch). We just each have a coffee at Starbucks bought R70. It was really nice. Schipol airport is easily laid out and we have so far no problems have occurred. At Bordeaux arrived, we met our tour buddies Andri and Susan. wen reviews They are a little upset because their luggage never came together from Ireland, so we wait 1h30 for the bags to arrive. We are a Taxi taken to Jarnac that Susan had booked, yet so take 1h30. We just came back early that French is not strong with their English. Our driver Jean Phillipe speak English very meager. Finally after 24h of travel we are at Le Boat's offices in Jarnac. We Julienne by ropes of how the boat works to how to manage wen reviews it. It is not too difficult .... so not too not. We decided to take food to go looking for dinner before we go. We descend on a street kaffeetjie, and with gestures and sounds we ordered our first meal in French. The manager is very helpful. The food is delicious and we sat right next Couvoissier's building, one of the many Cognac houses in the area. We decided to do still some way to go but achievable as 3km before we moor for the night. It's very peaceful. And the tranquility the heroes fail one after the other and at 9h00 we are all in bed. Sept 2 - We all sleep like stones !! Not until mid morning we're off and experience our first Lock. It's going pretty good and it's very hard work. The plan for today is to get to Cognac to go and then the place to explore. It is fast to Cognac, wen reviews a beautiful town with a rich history in Cognac production. The buildings are "outdated" but beautiful. There are many photos taken. There is a Triathlon competition in progress and a funny sport that we've never seen before - two boats from opposite sides cut off and then two men at the back of the boat on top of a paltform up and then the opponent with a long stick trying afstamp. I wonder aloud whether it be local or national sport is ?! But I doubt it will go Google. We cycle through the whole town and it's quite confusing because it's right management and the right to a circle, confused. We enjoyed another lunch at a street Kaffee. The weather was slightly overcast but warm. We are getting accustomed to the Euro prices and the food is not terrible duurderas in SA. We drive on through the village and learn it pretty wen reviews well. Tomorrow we go to Remy Martin to to see how Cognac is made.
Because it is Sunday! all shops. Later we get a Total garage shop open where we get milk. The streets wen reviews and houses and trees are beautiful. Andri's bike is so rusted that we Julienne call him a new bike to bring. He gets a nice white bike that he immediately donated to Susan. Sept 3 - We're a little earlier this morning because we have to go Remy Martin, Susan gave us a tour scheduled for 10h00. I want to have a cell phone store going to see if we have this blog is going to get, so if you can read then I was successful. With much help from me, lost our way to originally Remy Martin then, Susan has better direction sense than me and she gets us finally on track. wen reviews The ride is 4 km to the bikes and it's probably one of the first groups of people wen reviews to Remy Martin arrived with their bikes. We have an attractive Russian tour guide excellent French and English. It was really a very pleasant and informative tour. I learned a lot and Andri was particularly impressed with the taste of Cognac and which foods and side dishes you can be helpful. When we could not resist a few bottletjies Cognac to acquire, but then came the trouble it by bicycle wen reviews to transport the boats. After many fits and measured our boat back. It's warm and the exercise we are hungry and eager to sit. In the afternoon we sail a good many kilometers and up just short of a Chaniers.
Sept 4 - Last night up to 11 hours Settlers of Catan games. Andri obviously won !! We also laid in our Cognac and chocolates. Oh yes we also have our first French Bouef fried. It was great to re South African wen reviews food. This morning we were up early and our first electric lock
