Where we are... Today!

... A French wine festival. :-) Today we woke up by a small river, it was very nice and probably the best nights sleep we have had in ages. Consequently we overslept. Even so we managed to roll on into Buis-Les-Baronnies by midday. We stocked up on groceries which we then failed to consume when we saw a quaint and quintessential French creperie. Yum. Buis was a lovely village, with a dramatic and rocky backdrop courtesy of the drome de provence region. After this pleasant pause we headed straight for Cairanne to their 38th annual wine festival. Now some of you out there might think this part of the proceedings would be a bit of a jolly. But no! Wine is serious in these parts and much time was spent tasting, considering and writing comparative notes such as, "NICE!" and "mMy mum would like this." The village feast and jazz band is about to start, so we will stop using the handy touris office's wifi and get back to the cheese and wine.
