We went to one of the waterfront restaurants which reminded me of the tavernas in Greece when we did our sailing holiday.

Mike chose a big bowl of moules for starters. Moules are mussells but these were smaller than pipis! I had no idea what I ordered, but it was an assortment of seafood in a creamy sauce. I should have chosen Moules.

For mains, Mike had sardines and I had steak. Then for desert I had creme brulee and Mike had ice cream.

That was our day in La Rochelle!
