Day 6 – France, Beaujolais Wine Region.
Weather – Hot... very hot.
We arrived at this amazing chateau in one of France's wine regions yesterday afternoon. Pulling up the sweeping drive and seeing the amazing old building with the pool out front and the sprawling lawn I was instantly teleported back in time.
I could imagine arriving in a horse-drawn carriage, the road way lined with large candles and various members of the social elite engaged in one high brow activity or another. Pulling myself back to reality as we all clambered off the bus there was a distinct buzz of excitement in the air.
We selected rooms and met in the entrance area, I say area but cavern would do it more justice. It was a huge space, perfect for welcoming lords and ladies and for looking important. This group however was discussing the fact that the dungeon area down the stairs had been converted to a bar. Which if I'm being honest sounded like a brilliant modern day use for a dungeon.
As a bit of a surprise a second coach of travellers arrived filling another wing of the chateau. This was on the up and up.
With dinner over, nothing to special, just something to line our stomachs to allow for copious amounts of drinking and various other forms of debauchery we descended like a war party into the bowels of the chateau. In the dungeon bar which did not disappoint, it was l'eau de vie, the water of life all round. Which is an incredibly potent by-product of the wine making process. Or Desperado's, a beer and Tequila pre-mix. In hindsight, drinking a beer and tequila pre-mix which was 21% then chasing it with doubles of l'eau de vie, an 82% spirit, things were not going to end well.
21 shots and 9 Desperado's later life was not worth living. On the bright side I now have a little sign and photo on the wall stating my superiority over anyone else who had drunk in that dungeon before me. I found a quiet patch of grass and fell asleep... at 7.30.
The next day two bus loads of hungover 18-35's met by the pool, some drinking water from 1.5 litre bottles and others from a huge vessel of coffee. We had appropriated all the chairs so when a rather gorgeous specimen walked out I considered offering her my chair... or my lap. After her eyes and headache had dealt with the glare of the French sun I waved, smiled and patted my knee.
She gave me a truly perfect smile and sauntered over, her long flowing skirt catching quite a few eyes, her round tight ass catching more, my eyes continued up her fit, curvy figure to her big green eyes. Maybe not love at first sight but there was a whole lot of lust.
She turned in front of me and lowered herself gracefully to my lap... it was then I realized my predicament. Her head slowly turned and peered at me over my shoulder, she squirmed a little and leant back against me and whispered, "Is that all for me?"
I gulped and my face was instantly 5 degrees brighter than the sun. She smiled again, then squirmed a bit more, grinding herself backwards and forwards on me, watching my face.
