We are in Basque country staying in the seaside town of Biarritz just near the Spanish border.
We travelled from La Rochelle by train via Bordeaux and arrived late in the afternoon. We found a great little hotel just above the main beach and settled in.
Yes, Robert did swim in the Atlantic even though it was cold..... about 16 or 17 degrees. He also tried some Basque dishes, a spicy veal and ham pasta and a delicious almond cake.
We spent yesterday checking out the scenic spots, walking around the headland and out to 2 islands linked to the mainland by small bridges. We also checked out the beautiful St Eugenie's church. Napoleon and Eugenie were regulars at Biarritz - so were Bing Crosby and Cary Grant.
Moving on to Spain on Friday.

That water sounds WAY too cold to swim in. Hope the food warmed you up.
I hope it was 16 or 17 celcius not Fahrenheit otherwise Dad might be a bit... er... cold!
