Saturday is International Jumping day for the group at La Giraudiere

Meal at O P'ti en K

Saturday saw Hiroko go back to Bordeaux in order to finish off some shopping. Vanessa and Holllie set off for their pilgrimage to Lourdes. The rest of the group relaxed and chilled out at LG waiting for Hiroko to return in order to meet up for an evening meal in Chalais. There was also a second reason for our evening trip to Chalais……

Each year in the 1st or 2nd week of August, Chalais hosts an International Jumping tournament and on the Saturday there is a disco after the jumping has finished. Emily, Hiroko, Hugh and Sergey together with Paul went along to view the competion, sample the beer and listen to the music. We all left at around 1.00.
