May 26, 2008 - Biarritz and Basque Country

Paige and I unwisely decided to rent a car for our last couple of days in San Sebastian, thinking it would be nice to check out more of Basque Country, including France.Paige and I unwisely decided to rent a car for our last couple of days in San Sebastian, thinking it would be nice to check out more of Basque Country, including France....

May 3, 2008 - France - Biarritz

This town is like Tofino on Vancouver Island. Every business has a Biarritz flag or sign up, and (not kidding) yesterday as we were hanging out on the beach a siren went and a white man with a full Indian feather headress and war paint on was screaming out the local sporting chant. ... I guess there team is the Indian warchiefs or something, I tried to grab the camera but was paralized at how awesome this was, it may just be me but Im not sure if they ever had Indians with head dresses on in Southern France, either way I thought of Pony taking a drag of a smoke and saying, "thats awesome".This town is like Tofino on Vancouver Island.

Apr 25, 2008 - France- Bordeaux

Ah, the country. But Bordeaux is a little rough around the edges, there is a bit of grit, some street kids and we are staying, (once again) in the red light district. ... It must be karma, I dunno.Ah, the country. But Bordeaux is a little rough around the edges, there is a bit of grit, some street kids and we are staying, (once again) in the red light district. ...

Nov 9, 2007 - Nice Place, shame about the artillery fire!

This was Biscarosse plage lovely beach ( sensible sized dunes this time) and beautiful pine forest to camp in but it is located between a military airfield and a large Firing range.This was Biscarosse plage lovely beach ( sensible sized dunes this time) and beautiful pine forest to camp in but it is located between a military airfield and a large Firing range....

Aug 31, 2007 - Vertheuil

On arrival at the Bordeaux airport (actually in Merignac), we picked up the car and went grocery shopping on our way to Vertheuil. ...

Aug 13, 2007 - Pissos - Dax

Door het lawaai van het schoonmaken van het toiletgebouw staan wij al om 7 uur naast onze tent. Zij bevelen ons de boerderijcamping in Yzosse aan, 35 km verderop, vlakbij Dax. ...

Aug 12, 2007 - Cadillac - Pissos

Onder de Porte de la Mer door verlaten wij Cadillac. De receptionist bij de camping van Pissos gedraagt zich erg onbeleefd. ... Hoewel wij tegen hem steeds Frans praten, spreekt hij consequent in het Engels terug.Onder de Porte de la Mer door verlaten wij Cadillac.

Aug 11, 2007 - Saint Emilion - Cadillac

Met onze zwaarbeladen fietsen gaan wij nog een keer door Saint Emilion. Op een kleine, sobere gemeentecamping in Cadillac slaan wij onze tent op. ... Hoewel het naastgelegen zwembad al gesloten is, mag Rianne 5 minuten zwemmen om de hitte van de dag uit haar lichaam kwijt te raken.Met onze zwaarbeladen fietsen gaan wij nog een keer door Saint Emilion.
