Domme to Toulouse

Thursday, 16 October

This morning we woke up to people setting up their stalls for market day in Domme. There were many things we loved but couldn't bring home, like wines, honey, sausages, cheeses and even truffles. Rob picked up some terrine and pate for lunch and they were delicious.

We had the usual cuppa in the cafe on the corner. The waiter's daughter is in Australia, studying we think. Spent the rest of the morning wandering around the market and a couple of the tourist shops. I loved the cans of duck confit, cassoulet and other French delicacies which were very heavy and probably wouldn't get through customs.

After lunch we finished packing and set off for Cahors, which has a bridge Judy has been longing to see. We found a parking spot and walked to the bridge, which was nice but not that special. When we walked under it there was a sign with a map on it and Judy said:"This is the wrong bridge." After a brief break for a cuppa we walked back past the car and there was the right bridge, a UNESCO world heritage structure, and well worth the effort of finding it.

From there we drove to Toulouse and our hotel at the airport, where we had a last meal together. Tomorrow I fly to Frankfurt at 7.20 to begin my journey home, so it's an early start to a very long day. Rob and Judy have another month ahead of them, but this is auf wiedersehen, adieu and goodbye from me.
