    I am not sure why some could not see the photos posted via Flickr. Here is a repost via Photobucket.

    I am not sure why, but I only took one watch for my first visit to Bordeaux. I took lots of photographs; visited one of the most beautiful small towns in France, drove 1460 miles there and back (a ferry strike put paid to plans to take in northern Spain); enjoyed two dinners in a 2 star Michelin restaurant where the chef, Philippe Etchebest is an enthusiast collector of watches but appeared less than impressed with my IWC, tasted dozens of great wines and shipped several cases back home.

    A few photos from my holiday. No travelogue this time.

    The place

    Looks great Ralph. Very nice colors in the shot of the grapes. Next time try to wear that IWC shirt you wore to the Olympics. :)
