Holiday, day four. Optional tour of Château d’something-unpronouncable.
Shall I? Why not, a shot of culture might do me good!
There’s the guide. Yes, I’m listening. She sounds bossy! Up goes her flag-on-a-stick and we’re off.
“In 1763 blah-blah-blah.
Round there blah-blah-blah.
Saint so-and-so blah-blah-blah.
Up there blah-blah-blah”.
She’s such a châteaubox! She could talk the hind legs off un ânesse!
She just gave me another dirty look. Yes I’m listening. I must try to appear interested.
He took a photo, they took some photos, perhaps I should too. I’ll take a selfie. Smile!
I wish I’d stayed by the pool.

Prod the guide and she’ll take you to the squares!

Thanks to Rochelle for hosting Friday Fictioneers!

Keith's Ramblings 
Dear Keith,
I love châteaubox. Very clever. I feel his pain. I’d take the pool over a boring tour any day.
Shalom,
Rochelle

I never go for the guided tour- I would be just as frustrated as your MC! Great write Keith.

Some of those tours do start to sound depressingly and boringly alike. Run off to a little restaurant on a side street and have yourself a snack and people watch, it’s much more interesting.

Too funny and very relatable! We’re kinda sorta on the same track, dear Keith. You’ll see when I post on Friday.

Sunshine by the pool is the usual extend of my culture, when I need a break to relax. Great fun from a bored holiday maker.
