Mileometer

1 comment November 18th, 2004

Just a quick note as we are still in Cognac despite having planned to leave today – let’s just say that the tour was very, very good.  All six of them.

After doing a quick bit of tallying up on our old maps, we discovered today that we have actually walked over 900 kilometres.  Thats over 500 miles.  If anyone wants a comparison, it is further than Melbourne to Sydney.  I am so chuffed by this unimportant piece of trivia that I plan to go and do another tour to celebrate.

By the way, did you know that Hennessey House of Cognac sells a specially cut Baccharat crystal decanter of their top drop for a mere snip at 3000 euros?  Obviously we ordered several. I could tell you lots of other interesting facts about Cognac now, but I find they go awfully fuzzy in my mind for some reason, particularly after the tasting session, so I think I had better return and do another one just to make sure I really have learned all I can. 

A bientot.
