Ok, so this is the last day we spent on the boat and did one last excursion. See the post titled "Truffle Oil" to learn a little more about the excursion and this day...here are the pics...
After hanging out in the morning on the boat we boarded a coach and toured Chateau de Chasselas, a wine vineyard in Macon (pronounced "may-cone").

Ok, so after touring the vineyard and doing a little wine tasting, it was time to board the coach and head to the town of Tournus to catch up with the boat...As we said in the post earlier, we all agreed we should have skipped this excursion and stayed on the boat and enjoyed the sail, oh well...coulda, shoulda, woulda. Anyway, on our way to Tournus, we stopped at the small village of Chapaize....Here are a few pics...
we had to take a picture of the sign, otherwise we would have had no clue where this was at...
inside the village...
again....Kim thinks anywhere we go, someone should be holding her hand...

Ok so after this, it was time to head to the boat and change for our last night on board. We attended the cocktail party, then dinner. At dinner, they brought out the whole crew and we snapped a couple pics...
the crew...the one in black outfit is Stefan, head Chef...
everyone was wonderful....

ok, so this was our final dessert. This was baked Alaska, which was phenomenal! Notice the "Trustmark" logo in chocolate. This was on every dessert plate they ever brought us..

After dinner, there was a gala in the lounge that included live music and line dancing. We never made it...Instead, as you read in the post, we all hit the skydeck to enjoy the view and listen to Stefan tell his stories....It was an amazing night...

the streets of Tournus at night....
and finally Stefan...a very interesting man. He took the four of us down to the galley to tour and sample the infamous Truffle Oil. Sadly, we didn't get any pics of that...

Ok, so this wasn't a very interesting day, but oh well, it was still a great time! Next up...the city of lights, Paris...Check back later for some amazing pictures...
