Day 3 - Toothache and Mini Golf

The bad news is that Axel's toothache is indeed an infection. It is not in the wisdom teeth he had pulled last month, but in the one wisdom tooth they decided NOT to pull. grrrrrr.... Which has him on antibiotics that he is not able to drink alcohol whilst taking. Really bad timing for being in the region of such wonderful wines. He will have to take my word for what is good and we will buy some for him to have later when he his able. I guess this means that we will have to come back here again so that he can fully enjoy the experience. The sacrifices we must make, right?

Today was a lazy day with us spending most of our time either at the pool or the dentist. We did mangage to get a round of mini golf in before dinner.

The campground is very nice and full of families from France, The Netherlands, England,Germany and Ireland. Anja has already made several friends. She never fails to amaze me how easily she can connect with people. This is more of a trait that she gets from Axel than me, but she even out does him when it comes to ease of being social. The campground is as nice as it seems on the website. Plenty of trees and privacy in the individual sites and clean well kept facilities. I spent some time last evening after dinner just sitting on a bench enjoying all the children laughing, running around, riding bicycles and push scooters. As far as family vacation spots go we could not ask for more.


Not much to show in terms of pictures today. Here are a couple pictures of our campsite. It is pretty bare bones since we are not on an official camping trip. Though our bed is quite luxurious with duvet, double layer of mattress pads and pillows. A girl's got to have her beauty sleep you know, and this girl is straight out of The Princess and the Pea!

Today our plan is to spend the morning at the pool and then go into St. Emilion later in the afternoon to see the sites and get some of the famous macarons. Tonight we are hoping to take a night tour of St. Emilion. We have decided to stay on an extra day to make up for yesterday being somewhat of a lost day due to the timing of the dentist appointment. It is nice to have the luxury of opting to do so.

How are you feeling? I hope you're doing well with all this activity. The trip (aside from infected tooth) sounds wonderful!

Sounds like your travels are going well, besides Axel's toothache. I'm loving reading about your adventures.
