Day 3: Cognac
=============
After a nice breakfast we took off in the direction of Cognac, a trip which lasted for about 2 hours. A trip which took us thru a LOT of small roads and it made us believe we were driving some sort of rally. Max speed was about 160km/h in an unknown and steep environment. We made some videos but it’s safer if we didn’t post those 😉

We went to visit a cognac distillery called Camus – a friendly lady showed us around and told us about the history of the divine drink called cognac, and about the history of the region and how trade started to boom in the Middle Age. After the tour there was time for a small tasting of the brand – yum yum 🙂

Also we went to visit a nice park and hung around in the city for a while – distances here are always quite big it seems. We had to drive back for another 2 hours and had dinner when we arrived again in Bergerac. A dinner which caused quite severe stomach ache because the desert was some sort of choco mousse, which felt a bit like cement 😛

Tired and beaten …. signing off for today !

PS: french drivers just SUCK. They can’t drive, it’s quite official now. Don’t know what they are teaching these people in driving school ……. 🙁
