Today we drove from Rocamadour to Satlat du Caneda, a distance of around 50km. On the was we toured the Grotte des Merveille in Rocamadour as described in yesterday’s post.
We shopped for a few essentials at a Carrefour retail store in Sarlat. The store was similar to a Super WalMart with a full line of merchandise including soft goods, hard goods, and groceries. We attempted to buy fuel there but their pumps were unattended and their card reader could not understand that our Visa card was a credit card and not a debit card. So much for the RF chip equipped credit card we ordered especially for pumps like this one.
We had a wonderful birthday dinner at Le Bistro de l’Octroi in Sarlat. Food was excellent and the service was top notch. Clientele were all locals except for us. The restaurant was recommended by our hotel – a good sign as we are staying at this hotel for three nights. I think we got Mom’s 39th year off to a good start.
