Holidays day 1

A quiet morning followed by a trilingual guided visit round the new slavery gallery of the Aquitaine museum. Well, four languages if you count French, English, Spanish and sign language. Merci Didier, formidable.

The only discordant note is the sheer number of battles between the French and the English. EVERY CENTURY they were at it - except the 20th. I tell you, I'm glad I'm Welsh !

"Nothing to do with me, pal, we was annexed in 1535... ça n'a rien à voir avec moi, pote, on a été annexé en 1535"

Afterwards we went to admire the finished paintwork at FAC. Trop beau, le vert et blanc. We suggested dashes of blue and yellow here and there and came close to death.

Then we splashed out on a kebab at a kebabberie just round the corner from FAC near Bradley's Bookshop.
