I thought we were off to a good start but friends said to each other "lets leave her here with a label round her neck, and if she is still here when we get back tonight we can take her home"
I promised to behave myself but somehow it never works.
We had a coffee in the Place Capitol then a look round an upmarket dress shop where if we had 600 euros for a coat ( reduced to half price) we could have got into a scrum over it. Sadly we were being circumspect so off we went for lunch.
It was the first time for one of our party at the restaurants above the Victor Hugo fish, meat and vegetable market. These restaurants use all the fresh products from the market below and the fish is particularly good. One needs to get there for midday to get a seat and we timed it just right.
A really lovely 3 course meal, we mainly chose fishy dishes and with wine and coffee the cost was 19 euros each.
Favourite shop " Docks des tissues" at 22 rue Lafayette, specialiste des tissues de grands couturiers.
Wonderful materials which you could imagine being made into wonderful outfits.
Back home on the 5 pm train and guess who we met, yes, the lovely couple who had been taking the photos, so we had a chat and discovered they lived at Bournazel, liked walking and had been walking around Toulouse.
As an after thought we were very aware of armed security and we did have bags searched going into one large store.
Thanks for a great day chums.
Malc says so where is the picture of the station master in his hat? Val says three times, and it did not work!
