Bordeaux - I've tasted better

My last stop on my Busabout adventure was in Bordeaux - a French wine region.
It was a very beautiful city, much bigger than I expected




and many... many chateau's in the surrounding region to choose from for wine tasting!

The wine wasn't really anything to shout about but I enjoyed tasting a variety of wines and learned that French wines are noted by the Chateau/Winery in which it was made - not the grape variety.




It was amazing to see the massive Chateau's in which the winemaking family lives.




Leaving Bordeaux also meant leaving a great bunch of friends who I'd met along my travels.
Always travelling on my own.... but never alone!
