Rocamadour


Yesterday was an awesome day. We visited Rocamadour which is an old town built long ago where pilgrims used to go to seek protection - looks like something out of a fairy tale. It was great walking around the old streets and up alot of stairs. Also yesterday we visited Gouffre de Padirac which is a collasped cave that goes down underground for several hundred metres. While we have seen lots of amazing man made stuff on this trip this has been the highlight so far. We travelled down into this big hole in the ground via a series of lifts. We got to walk around and go on a raft on the underground stream. There were many large stalligtites (75 m) and crystal clear water. It was amazing!
