As you can probably guess, I've been away for a while! Chris and I took a trip to Bordeaux, France and truly enjoyed it. More about this trip will be on my travel blog, one of the coming days.
To avoid being too close to other people, we decided to take the train. Especially when you travel first class it's not too busy in the carriage. We took one TGV from Brussels to Marne-la-vallée and another one from there to Bordeaux.
It was nice being in another country after 18 month solely in Belgium. Being able to see another region, experience another culture, that's what we like. We explored the city of Bordeaux and also took excursions to both Arcachon and St. Emilion. And of course tasted the Bordeaux wines! We had a wine tasting that was so fine, we decided to bring along a bottle of a wine we've never had before: orange wine. Special taste, but I like it.
We returned home to Dendermonde late Thursday evening. Yesterday we came to Heist, where we are going to spend the next weeks. At the end of the month, we take another trip, this time to Strassbourg and Colmar in the Alsace region.
I liked the excerpt.
