The strike hqs tqken us into limoges and what a suprise; the Town had no accommodation left so I ended up at the airport; If ever you go- just dont go out to the Airport for accomodtion!thankfully the 20 euro cab fare each way was offset by the great find at the Hotel de La Prais; what gramophone can you discover that isnt scattererd around this hotel- all sizes and shapes with a collection of memorabilia to make "The Collectors" weep. I have dined on boudin sasauge, scoffed the best prune tart that you can find, and had a lovely chat over a glass of apple juice. just the thing to get that last bit of blood sausage down the hatch! Oradour sur G is a monument to a Waffen SS whim to demonstrate german dominance over Vichy france- they slaughtered 650 odd men women and children and then tried to hide the fact. The remains of the Martyred town are worth a visit and the bus trip is delightful -through rolling country side.
A magnificient day market allowed me to finsih the evening and my stay in france in tru french fashion with the french and argentine game closing I to am off to my bed. off to london tomorrow. Strike is over so hope for a fun trip.
