Biarritz and Bordeaux




On our way to Bordeaux we took a welcome detour to Biarritz - it was a spontaneous addtion to our itinerary! The sea was green the sky was blue, the waves were rolling in to the beautiful sandy beach... in other words, we finally got our sea swim.


It's only a couple of kms from San Sebastian to the French border - but no drama, just drive on through. The only reminder that you've changed countries is that the toll booth staff greet you with 'bon jour' instead of 'hola'.


we arrived to stinking hot weather in Bordeaux and a hotel that is handily located to town. Partly thanks to our geocaching habit we found a really cool sculpture this morning - it was unexpected to say the least... see next post
