Sunday 18th June- A trip to far!!

The weather looked a bit grey and so we decided to go for a drive to Puy Leveque where my sister Annette and husband Peter have stayed a few times. They had also found a very nice restaurant in Grezels which was highly recommended and we thought we would try and find it which we did only it to discover it was full booked for lunch. The man said make a reservation next time Monsieur.
So we decided to head for Puy Leveque for lunch, being Sunday not much was open but there was a Hotel on the top of the hill serving and so we decided to go there. Bad mistake this as it would appear that perhaps there was only two waiters for about 30/40 people and so after we waited almost 35 minutes and were only able to obtain a knife and fork and very small bowl of crisps and olives we left and headed bak for Cahors to a proper restaurant.
We had an excellent meal and wandered around the town for a while which was closed but there are as many estate agents in Cahors as ther in Weybridge. viz one Estate Agent for each six shops. We met an Australian lady wandering around the town looking for a Hotel. She had arrived by train for a few days and had obviously not looked at the signs well as had passed at least three hotels without recognising them. So we helped her out with some information.
We were still full from a late lunch and therefore avoided dinner and watched yet another game of football. This time it was the Koreans giving the French a hard time. The score was 1-1 and I do love to see the establishment being upset by the outsiders. as a result of this game. The French spectators could hardly believe their eyes to see how their team was being harassed.
France went in to a day of mourning today as a result of this.
