Once I had found my way to Marta’s cute little apartment all was well. Silly me thinking I’d see something of Bordeaux by walking - it was not the scenic route and took me almost two hours. Marta was very welcoming and I slept soundly on the comfy canapé. The cat came and went through the little garden and the next day Marta showed me where to go for a fabulous swim in an outdoor Olympic pool right around the corner. Then I took the bus into town and saw a bit of the city. Thanks Marta!
