Our short trip in bordeaux

I was really looking forward
To a short break from school
Although im not working
Well at least for this month
The daily school
And mandane daily activites
Do tire me out
So came the opportunity
For us to take a short trip
To bordeaux to visit grandparents
The last time we saw them was for our wedding
And is my first trip with mother in law

I have no idea what to do in bordeaux
Except to eat canalles
But thankfully mil is our guide
That husband and i just follow
For the 3days trip
Haha

Strangely we sleep and wake up early
I guess when in rome
We do what the rome do
husband even woke up at 7am for breakfast
When normally he cant even wake up 
At 8am for work...
Ehh i only woke up at 830am
Im fine to miss the cozy 7am breakfast..
Haha

We didnt do much exploration
Except visiting the city centre
Big shopping mall beside us
Christmas market
The quay
And the random streets
Christmas lights everywhere!

Is not my first time to visit christmas market

I been to a small one in paris

And another in compiegne

But the one in bordeaux is the biggest i have been

But sadly,

It was selling more clothes, jewellery etc

Than christmas stuff

I guess is like sg pasar malams nowadays

Where you can find more handphone stuff

Than traditional stuff and food...

But we did have a nice hot spiced wine

On the way back

Husband and i were excited to see 

The shelock holmes pub!

We have been huge fan of sherlock holmes

Since we watched the serial "sherlock"

Okay, husband been a fan since young

Reading the books

And me..just for the cute actor, haha

Too bad we were rushing home for dinner

Else, i think we will go in for a drink

I think the best of the trip is the food!

Grandmother in-law is a great cook

That i end up having 2nd/3rd servings

And is strange how she can make me finish

My garlic, leek and parsley

Because she make them taste so good...

Is really authentic traditional fremch food

Now i truly understand

The taste of grandma's cooking

Is better than any restuarant!

I have been cheated by husband's cooking

That i assumed that french food is often

Full of cream and cheese...

Haha

Is crazy how i put on 1kg in 3days!

I think it doesnt help that we take a nap

Straight after lunch

Hmm if we lived here for 3months

I will suspect is a conspiracy 

to sell us to a butcher

After making us fat!

But the good food is worth

The extra weight to bring home

Oh well, the winter weight 

To hide under the thick coats..

Tonight is our last night here 

husband and I are doing the usual tv surfing

That we do whenever we travel

Because we do not have tv channels at home

Okay time to enjoy our last moments

In bordeaux...
