Ile de Re, France to Bordeaux, France

Unfortunately, we have to leave our little campsite today.

We met a young English couple last night and ran into them again catching the bus back to La Rochelle. They had hundreds of questions to ask about Australia, and we were only too happy to oblige. They may move to Australia at Christmas to work for a year or so.

From La Rochelle train station, we trudged back to the Youth Hostel, dropped off our bags and kept walking around the marina to the restaurant area where we had been on Saturday and had lunch.

Afterwards we headed back to the hostel and waited for the Eurobus. Our name was marked off the list and we boarded the bus to Bordeaux.

We arrived at 7 pm and because there are only 13 places in the hostel available, and 45 of us on the bus, we didn’t stick around for long, as we raced for a place to stay. We found a hotel 500 meters away called Hotel Deux Mondes, which had cheap, reasonable rooms.

A quick take away dinner was had before going to bed, because we want to cram in as much as possible in our next two days in Bordeaux.
