28th September
ntering the old harbour of La Rochelle is quite something!!! Having seen pictures of it for years [Paul even remembers it from his school history text books] to then actually sail in between the towers to the harbour inside the city walls…wow!!
We were sorry to miss Lisa, Aidan and Osie from St Martin. We got into the harbour at about 3p.m. - happy birthday Aidan!!!
We just wandered and walked around this lovely city. We also had a lovely day with Tim and Veronica from Spalding Grammar School - they have a house in France and drove down to see us! We had a delicious lunch in a restaurant close to the towers - even Dom came too!! Dogs are very popular in France and are welcome almost everywhere!! When the waiter came, he brought the menus to us then immediately returned with a bowl of water for Dom which was carefully placed under the table. It was a super day - Paul was able to catch up on school `news’. He was particularly amused by the cigar!!![this was ALLEGEDLY school confiscation booty??!! Surely not!]
