Travel day from Bath to Amboise

 Day 6 was an exhausting travel day. Started in Bath and took a train back to London; switched train stations on the tube and then took the Eurostar Chunnel Train to Paris!



 Tired of being on trains all day...

 Walking from the train station to our Air BnB in Amboise - almost there!

The Loire River Valley Day 1

 Our first day in the Loire River Valley took us to Chateau Clos de Luce - just down the road in Amboise - the final home of Leonardo Da Vinci where many of his inventions were scattered throughout the gardens. Then we went to the Chateau D'Amboise right in town with great views over the town and river.
