k&k episode 306 UNPLUGGED - the one where they learn MORE about cognac... and stuff...
We're still coasting through the cognac region in episode 306 - you'll hear about our visit to the Bonnin cognac distillery and what else we learned about the art of making cognac and pineau, what we bought at the market in Saint-Jean d'Angely, what we did at Futuroscope, and what we thought of La Rochelle (including the old town, the Aquarium and the road signs).
Oh and make sure you listen carefully to the bumpers - almost all of our parents make an appearance! So if you would like to leave us a bumper, simply make us your friend on Skype and leave us a voicemail, saying something like "Hi this is Mr Magoo from Samoa, and you're listening to Katia and Kyliemac!!"
This episode was brought to you by the word "le cognac" (brandy).
