Hello again!
Today we haves part 2 of my French Holiday fur you doggies!! To see part 1 of my travels click HERE............

So it was Friday 9th July and we'd all settled in to our lovelys holiday house just fine. We wanteds to see more of the beautiful area of France we were in (the Dordogne), so we wents on an evening outing to an old, castle town called Bourdeilles......it was the most fairytale-like place we hads ever seen and Bunnie starteds to think she was the princess in the tower!
Our Hoomans got some lovelys photos....

Just as the sun was settings, we arrived.

Bourdeilles is a very old, medieval town filled with rich history........

Heres the castle walls......

So dramatic!

We saw the church.....

and the park....

and an open vegitable garden.....

and the beautifuls views of the surrounding fields!




It was so magical and peaceful; afterwards we founds a cafe where a band was playings songs on all sorts of strange instruments and we sat and listened fur a while! Then we slowly mades our way home and wents to bed.

The next day it was grey clouds and no sunshine - too cold fur swimming, so we all wents off in the big van fur a bicycle ride!

Off we go!!!

Now, Bunnie hads never run alongs beside a bicycle befores, and she is a bit too small to keeps up with the Hoomans, so heres what they did instead....

They poit her in a basket!

Hmmmm! Why don'ts I gets a basket Mummy??? Mummy said she wanteds me to slim down! Imagine, me fat?! NEVER! Anyway, I hads to make do and the Hoomans gots on their bicycles and we speeded off!

 We cycled fur a while....

Bunnie enjoyed herself, just lounging in that basket......

We stopped at and old, dilapidateds railway station along the cycle path.....

it was pretty eerie.....so we carried on cycling........

We pasted some cycle path art......

Then we cycled through one of the top 25 prettiest towns in France.....

 It was SO pretty!

We passed a delightful manor house....

we saw a hauntings, old church......

Then we stopped at a cafe and had some lunch!
Afters that we carried on around the town.....

a war memorial.....

and a pretty bridge.....
Then we made our way backs along the cycle path.

When we gots back to the van, I was so very tired, havings to run along beside my Hoomans as they zoom on was such hard work!! I was so glads to gets back to the house and crash outs at the end of the day.

The next day was our last day :( so our Hoomans dids a lot of swimmings in that strange pool and sun-bathed in the heat. Then they tooks me and Bunnie fur a walk in the park in Brantome near us.

It was glorious and sunny....

Me and Bunnie stiffed arounds by the riverside......

trotteds alongs the path....

Yeah, Bunnie was chillings out, there with the baguettes!

Then boughts some provisions fur da travel day.
It was a perfect last day!!! We then wents back to our holiday house and cooked a lovelys dinner of Risotto over the fire....YUM!

The next day the Hoomans packed ups the big van and hads their last splash in the pool, then we set off on the LONG journey home!
We drove and drove.....and DROVE! Eventually, we gots back home at 3 o'clock in the morning afters driving through the night and slept like a log! Me and Bunnie are still restings and settlings in to our old den, but be assured, we will be doings some more bloggings soon!
We hope you're all well and enjoyed this post.
Love,

The French Holiday Part 1

Hello! I'm back.
Today I haves a very excitings post fur you - my French Holiday!!!
It was such fun and the sun was shinings almost every day! It was also a wonderfuls (but scary) new experience fur me and Bunnie because we hads never been abroad until this point! We gots back last Tuesday morning at 3 o'clock - Me and Bunnie were SO tired and haves been sleeping a lot! Its been a long trip.
So here we go...........

We set off on Monday evening 6th July in our Hoomans big van with lots and lots of bags, bikes and bedding in the backs! Then we drove fur a long, longs time until we gots to a big car park near the channel tunnel crossing on the cost. We slept in the big van that night and woke ats the crack of dawn (a bits early fur me; I needs my beauty sleeps) and gots on to the massive train that took us to France!!

We gots off the train in Calais, France, then drove fur a little while until we gots to a lovely service station where we stopped fur walkies and breakfast!

It was very pretty and wild!

Me and Bunnie ran around and tooks in all da new smells......the smell of France!

Then it was back in da van and onwards.....

We drove many, many overs; past fields, towns, farms and ruins. It all starteds out good (except my Hoomans were very tired havings slept terribly the night befores), then as the day went on, it gradually gots hotter and hotter until the heat made me and Bunnie pant fur our lives and our Hoomans were drippings with swet. It was rather hellish fur a while, buts slowly, it cooled down towards the evening and we arrived at the holiday house (afters an exhausting search down country lanes) more or less in tact! You cans imagine we slept well!

The next morning we gots up late and lounged arounds fur a while, then me and Bunnie explored the house and gardens!

Pretty, isn't it?!

There were four bedrooms, a big kitchen, lovely gardens and a swimming pool!

Now, Bunnie wasn't too sure abouts the swimming pool (havings never ecountered one before) and I tolds her that it was very scary, since I DON'T like waters buts you'll see how we both conquered our fears later!

Later on in the day we wents to a huge supermarche (as they calls them in France) and boughts lots of bread and cheese and fruits.....YUM! In the evening our Hoomans gots their culinary act togethers and cooked Ratatouille around the outdoor fire in the garden - we didn'ts gets any though! :(

The next day my Hoomans sunned themselves by the pool in the morning and splashed around while me and Bunnie did checks around the place. Everything was goings really well when suddenly - me and Bunnie were scouped up and........

We were in the cool pool with our Hoomans! It was scary alright! Bunnie was tremblings and crawling up as far away from da water as possible. It was nice to cool off though.

In the evening we all trotted off to the nearest town, Brantome to look around!

It was BEAUTIFUL.......

We went down this alleyway filled with cafes and shops.....

Look at all that FOOD!

 We bought some ice cream!!!

That looks GOOD!

And our wishes were made true - we gots to finish them off!

What a treat! We both couldn't believe it!!!

We found a kitty outside a dress shop just chilling outs in the shade....

We saw a lovely exhibition.....

We explored the caves.....

Me and Bunnie peered overs the edge of da bridge to smell the odours of food comings across from the restuarant.....

That smells heavenly!

Then we wents home fur dinner and bed.

Nighty night.

Hope you enjoyed this.......our French Holiday will be continued soon!
