The air ducts at Bordeaux airport. We touchdown in the midst of a storm and had to wait ages for our hire car. No matter as the girls got hours of fun from the air ducts at the airport! They giggled and giggled as only 2 year olds can.
After the boys drenched themselves in said storm executing the feat of engineering that was packing the hire car (it may have had 7 seats but had no boot space whatsoever!) We arrived to open the doors, gasp with excitement and run around tremendously happy that we were going to be staying in such a gorgeous place. Even better was the thoughtfulness of the owners who had laiden the table with goodies for our first meal - succulent roast chicken, juicy tomatoes, peaches, grapes, delicious breads and cheeses all washed down with icy cold pink fizz from the vineyard. Heaven!

Eating out
Our final night - dinner at the Moutier's duck farm. Amazing 7 course meal, with duck, duck and more duck, and wine galore. Giggly over the risque glasses they served Eau de Vie in at the end of the meal! We saw a wild boar running in our headlights on the way home.I definitely want to go back!

Looks totally fabulous - cant wait to hear more about it.
looks fantastic - lucky you. I love St Emilion. Have been lucky enough to go there a couple of times now - glad to see you enjoying it so much too
We went to Bordeaux a couple of years ago and also had a wonderful time. I wouldn't have thought of it as being a good place to take kids - but Olive and her friends look like they had an absolute ball! It gives me hope to hear that travel is possible with children...
