Having left Bordeaux we travelled by TGV to Angouleme then onto St Junien by a "regional express" train it was a diesel rail car, it was quite an interesting trip, but it was on time, something the Oz rail systems could learn.
Ross took us for a road trip on Friday to Sarlet, a medieval village, the Chateau de Casterlnaud, a real medieval castle (complete with real medievil weapons; pikes, sword, chain mail, suits of armour, clubs with big spikes for poking holes in peoples heads, hammers with a pointy end for making just one hole and a hammer at the other end to cave in skulls, knives, all sorts of crossbows and cannons etc), Le Roque-Gageac, prehistoric cave dwelling later used in medieval times, they just bricked in wall etc, then onto Domme, another medieval village. The area is also know as the home of Foie Gras, so needles to say there are lots of shops selling Foie Gras, as well as all the associated paraphernalia.

Saturday was spent doing "normal" thing, going to the market, looking around Limoges, picking up a couch that Cathy had bought, it seems they don't deliver in France, will try to add the video of Ross & Mark taking one section of the couch up to the 3rd floor of the house, it was challenging.
The weather looks very much like what we are havinh here in oz...
