Though we had intended to go to Nimes, we are now in Bordeaux. Apparently one of the two train stations, and of course, not the one we went to had the international trains to France. Already running late, we missed the connections and could not get to Nimes tonight. In the time we had to wait in the station between connections, not sure if we were in Spin or France, we read about this simple but sweet two star hotel very close to the main area. While waiting our passports were checked no fewer than 4 times. We got in around 6pm this evening as the shops were closing and we made note of the many chocolaterias near by. We saw 2 of the 3 noteworthy cathedrals and after some searching found a pretty good albeit in a touristy area Indian(isch) restaurant. There is a nice breeze from the water and the commercial streets of the old town are fun to traverse. I think this will be an lovely day or so in Bordeaux.
