Time to find our way back to our hotel ... "Will we need to run for cover?"
We had walked many steps today and it would have been easy to opt for another mode of transport ... perhaps some pretty wheels or a private chariot...
"Going our way?"
Our friend/tour guide wanted to show us one last place before we said our goodbyes ...
A quick walk through the luxury "Hotel Monteleone" to view the famous "Carousel Bar & Lounge" ... an amazing revolving bar. It is a 25-seat, colourful circus Merry-Go-Round.
Our intentions were to just have a look around but the atmosphere appealed and we decided to satisfy our thirst in the whimsical surroundings ... all the seats on the Merry-Go-Round were occupied.
We found some comfortable seating in the lounge area with views of the "Carousel" enjoyed a drink, some quiet conversation and watched as the rain finally made it's appearance through the large fan windows overlooking the famous Royal St.
What an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon!
"Riding along on a carousel, round and round, up, down, up, down" ... feeling like a kid in a hectic adult world!
Here's one of my favorite "Carousels" ... It is located in the square "Place Gambetta, Cahors, France".
The rain had subsided by the time we walked back to the hotel.
Ms. Laury retrieved her bicycle that had been safely locked up in the Hotel's storage room and she rode off with our promise to come by her home later in the evening!
The day continued into the evening ... see you soon!
A bientôt !
