The remaining distance to Lados, our final trip destination was below 200 kms and we had the luxury of splitting this up into two days. We consequently opted for a daily destination only 90 kms away, which would take us further north and out of the Pyrhenaes.
A leisurely and still very scenic 97 kms brought us to our hotel located in a small village in a very rural area. On the way, we traveled through many picturesque small french villages, which became less picturesque as we moved further north.
After checking into our hotel relatively early, we set out for some wine tasting in the area. Another village, 12 kms away, featured a Co-op which had all the local wines on offer both for tasting and for purchase. We tasted 6 different wines and ended up buying a small bottle of sweet wine. Back in SA, this would be sold as a dessert wine. The French drink it as an aperitiv, ideally with blue cheese.
Our hotel proved functional and we enjoyed another good 3 course french dinner, if not as sophisticated as the previous day.
