Mercure Bayonne Centre 3m

Tom and Sue took the day to zip to Bilbao (1:45 south of Biarritz) to see the famous Guggenhiem Museum. Wow, what a building!! The exhibits pale in comparison, but still we enjoyed a solid 4 hours at the museum. Afterwards, we drove back to San Sebastian where Sue introduced me to Alona Berri, the ...

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.<br><br>            <br>

Judy spent the day with Pierre, a former wrestler and French Olympic wresting coach (he went with the team to Atlanta) who she had met on the train ride a few days ...

We spent the morning touring our recently discovered Bayonne with the kids and Judy continued exploring during the afternoon ...

... only look good. After our first night, we realized they sit out on the bar all day, so who knows how long they sit there. I had a horrible stomac ache after our first night... no wonder. For our second tapas experience, we ordered off the menu and we had Kanguroo Tacos and Shark. It was absolutely delicious.<br><br>As for ...

... playing the guitar and surfing, two things I would love to do well, but really am not good at, I never really was in my element. But never the less, I enjoyed it all. Then again, that's kind of what this trip is all about right? I really appreciated all of Fredric's help and patience in teaching me those things Ok well it's off to Paris, for the 4th time this month! Talk to you soon.

Picking ...

... hours! (Aussies 1 - Frogs Nil) We were set up just through the 300m to go banner, so had a perfect view of the small crash near the end where the yellow jersey guy (Schumacher) went down. The other highlight of the day was when a Rabobank rider threw me his water bottle on the way up to the finish! This is quite a coup to get one of these during a stage. We decided to give it to Gary on the Monday as it was his Birthday (and they had helped us out heaps ...

I was up early after a good night sleep and booked out in time to catch the 08.30 train to Saint Jean Pied de Port, but when I went into the station there was ************e about.. I stopped a guy who looked like a railway official ...

... moat with a couple of dogs playing chase.. It was getting late now about 6 pmish so I decided its time to head back to the hotel and rest a bit... I was not at my fittest... 6 months since I did the last camino and since them I'd been on my computer most days with my website and not doing any exercise at all, so after todays sightseeing I was feeling the pace. After dinner of Piza and coke I settled in for the night to watch football... I can't tell you who ...
