Friday, September 30 we woke up at our hotel near the airport, had breakfast and took a taxi back to the airport. Those 2 taxi rides ended up costing us $45. That was for 2 miles each way. What a rip off. After a mechanical situation with the first car we finally got on the road. After SUV’s for 4 people with automatic transmissions in Ireland and Scotland we now had 4 door Fiat 500 with a manual transmission. Very different, but the car is fine. We got a later start than we had hoped for so had to bypass a stop I was wanting to make on the way to a cute little town. We will see a lot of cute towns, so not a big deal. We got to Sarlat a couple of hours before we were to meet our Airbnb host at our apartment. We took advantage of the time by walking around the old town, and we shared a snack. We met the host and then headed for the grocery store to buy supplies for the next 5 nights. After taking our purchases and luggage up the the apartment we went back into the old town which is less than a 5 minute walk. We walked around so more and then had dinner. We both love this town. There’s some new and interesting around every corner. We’re going to like it here.
