Chillaxin

Still in Veiux Boucau just North of Hossegor, the suns still shining and we've had some real fun waves everyday.. Early mornings are best, no people around and a light offshore breeze.. Around 11 the surf schools turn up , about the same time as the onshore sea breeze and chop the waves up a little..
The local Boulangerie sells the yummiest croissants so most breakfasts consist of Carte Noire instant and a croissant or 2... Cereal if too surfed out to ride to the shop !!
We may leave here Saturday and slowly head down past Biarittz and cross into Spain.. A few nights in Aires before hopefully finding an empty beach in Northern Spain to Wildcamp on.. Galicia is stunning we've been told and has so many empty beaches we aim to spend a few weeks in this region..
So far we driven nearly 2000 miles or 3200 km's mainly on minor b roads with no autoroutes or tolls ( unless no other choice through Italy into France via tunnels ) and I think Galicia is approx 600 km to the Northwest tip from here.. Doesn't sound much but on twisty mountain roads it can take a while!!


Anyway enough waffling on..

Happy Bank Holiday weekend at home and hope the sun shines for you all.

Some more Pyrenees piccys

Lazy French Life

As per title..
Camped up on a small French beach with a little town a short bike ride away and a pounding heavy French beach break about 100 yards away (forgotten what 8 wave beach break sets on the head feels like !!)
Thankfully the swell is forecast to drop overnight so tomorrow should be more fun rather saltwater punishment..

We are somewhere on the Cote Basque coast north of Biarritz, a beautiful area with perfect sandy beaches.. Although can't remember the name at the mo, the people are friendly , the croissants are fresh and the suns shining..

Anyway enough waffling... I'm sure Claire will upload some lovely piccies soon. :)

Pyrenees

Camped up in a beautiful French town called Luchon in the pyrenees.. Glorious sunshine so gonna stay for a while before we head to Cote Basque for some waves..

Port Grimaud to Perpignan

Lovely drive over the last few days. From the wet and windy Port Grimaud we drove to the old walled city of Aigues Mortes and stayed there last night. Today we drove through vineyards, passed poppy fields and even saw a flock on pink flamingos!

Here's some pics taken over the last couple of days:

Still wet n windy..

I think the Uk weather has arrived here.. Still wet n very windy so just bimbling down the coast, near Perpignan now and may cross into Spain looking for sunshine.. Into Andorra and midi-pyrenees for the weekend to meet me Dad..
