Today was part 1 of moving day. All of our bags won't fit in the car we have so today Grandad, Daddy and I are taking half the bags to the TGV train station in Bordeaux. It's a 2 hour drive but necessary since we have no other way to get all our stuff to the train to Paris. Grandma didn't want to come with us so she stayed in Sarlat and had a relaxing day.

The GPS got us to the train station without problem, however, it turned out that the luggage storage room was closed and the train people had no other alternatives. We eventually figured out another option of going to the hotel across the road. In the end, we had to pay for a room for the night at 31€, just for the bags. We also to make further arrangements since their normal checkout time is 11am and we weren't due to be back until after 1pm. Quite painful but it all worked out in the end.

On the way home, Grandad took us to Saint Emilion which is one of the major areas for wines. We went to the wine merchant Ets Martin that Grandad had been to three years ago (they didn't remember, but were none-the-less impressed), and we tasted some wines. Both Daddy and Grandad bought some wine - Daddy's wines are to take back home for Mummy, and Grandad's was to drink tonight. I really enjoyed sniffing the wines, but I didn't get to taste them.

After Saint Emilion we drove back home, but after all of our driving, we weren't home unitl after 7pm. We decided to have pizza for dinner on our patio. Grandma walked down the street and ordered two pizzas, a cheese one and an "everything" one. Daddy and I went and got them. They were both very yummy. The wine was good too - I had a taste on my little finger!

I had a bath, had a story out on the patio, then to bed by about 9:30.

Tomorrow we take the rest of the bags and ourselves to the train and then to Paris.
