Hotel Le Cafe De Paris Biarritz

... Pinxos restaurant she, Ev, and Jullie had loved 3 weeks earlier. It was truly amazing and we enjoyed talking with a lovely british couple who now run a B&B in Provence. Judy and the kids had a wet but fun time, as the weather had finally turned south.

                       

I don't really need to tell you what we did do I? Take one part playground, one part beach, and one part sunset and you have a Kramer day in Biarritz.

           

... Dispite the language barriers they had a lovely time exploring the basque country side. What did we do? Why go to the beach, of course!!

                     

... the kids slept. Tom did a little surfing and another nice sunset was enjoyed during dinner.

                   

... cathedral and adorable cobble stone streets. Since it was sunday, the only place open was a small creperie, but we had a nice time nonetheless which Judy watched the kids.

We were on a separated bike path for nearly the entire hour long ride. We arrived at the station with 20 minutes to spare--one would think that's plenty of time to print out a prepaid ticket from a ...

... arrived yesterday while we were sat having a beer in the bar of the campsite and I noticed the Ecosse sticker on the front. The ten minutes I spent talking to them was totally wrapped up in me asking them about their trip and them telling me about the dog.

Also we can have one of those ...

...but tomorrow is my last day. I've been the only one here for about two days now, after all the noisy English girls went on Saturday and the French on Sunday. The family are nice, and they have a very fluffy cat who's licking my hands and trying to distract me from the keyboard. I'm not sure how much I said about where I am before, so if this is repetitive then tough! From April to December they run surfing holidays where you stay in the ...

... restaurant which was fun and slightly scary at the same time given that my french extends to bonjeur and merci. After we had eaten we headed back to the train station and I got the train to the airport and the american jumped on his train to Paris.....via about four other cities, but apparently it was the cheapest way to get there....it will just take him about four hours longer.
