RESIDENCE LES SABLES D OR LAGRANGE CLASSIC Saint-Palais-sur-Mer

We're sitting at our BandB having coffee (strong!) bread and jam....the fourlegged owner of the establishment is sitting in Gary's lap enjoying being given the appropriate homage....
We visited 2 Chateux yesterday and attempted to enter the city of Bordeax (5thlargest in France)
Yikes. No more of that.

we're off to two ...

Hot long day, so after only about 30km of fighting our way through beach towns seeing people sun bathing and eating icecream, we decided to join them! The bikes came down to the water where there were beautiful white cliffs rising off of the same and we scorched ourselves for a few hours. I thought we were getting lots of sun being on our bikes all day in it, but nothing ...

... the street just in case. Huge wide beaches just waiting for sun-worshippers to lay themselves upon it. Thankfully it’s not holiday time and most places are empty (which suits us just right). We manages to find a smaller quieter campground that was still open and settled ourselves for the evening. A very nice man came over and offered us a couple of his plastic chairs to use to the evening - so sweet! Whoever said that the French were snobs ... ?

Lastly, I must make note of the very creative and attractive signs that can be found along France's major highways announcing/advertising cities in the area. The two-tone earth-colored signs included the name of the city/area as well as a tasteful depiction of a building, symbol, plant, historical event or the like for which the city is known. The uniform look these large, billboard-sized signs presented was classy and the the information they offered was ...

This was
another disaster journey really. We started late after an extended chat with a couple from Ireland and set off under the command of TomTom taking a left out of the car park to our destination 40km away.
After two hundred metres TomTom found its feet and continued its reboot problem and we had resort to using GoogleMapping again. As GoogleMaps does not re-route we had to follow its directions to the letter.
Dutifully, and as ...

... Bu sefer degisik bir rota izleyerek adanin gormedigim taraflarini da kesfettim. Varisa az kala La Cotiniere isimli bir balikci koyunde mola verdim.

Bu arada dunya mutfagina ayran ve donerden sonra yeni bir Turk icadi lezzet kazandirdim: Croissant Pastirmasi. Tarifi soyle: Hani eski turklerin at binerken eyerle atin arasina et koyup, pastirma yapmalari geyigi vardir ya, bizimkinde de sabah kahvaltida hazirladigin recelli ...

... Tabi sonrasinda tum bunlarin tren aktarma saatlerini hesaplamak gerekti. Yani kafaya gore takilmak da bir planlama gerektiriyor :)

Not: Onumdeki iki gunluk programi bildiginize gore yorum ve onerilerinizi bekliyorum. Sonraki rotamla ilgili de tabi...

2) "Bize yedigin yemeklerden bahset, ilginc neler var"

Valla en ucuz yollu takilmaya calisiyorum, bir de kilo almamaya. Genel program: sabah siki kahvalti, kahvaltida ogle yemegini ...

... renovated everything them selves and it's gourgeous very new england by the sea feel light and area in all nautral colours and fabrics you need to book well in advance to stay here as they are very bussy all year due to being open 5 years and in lots of magazinzes, papers and all guide books.A very relaxing place to stay a definate must.

Possibly a bit useless creating a travel blog after seven months of that other blog. This site is actually quite a bit better! More inspirational, detailed, travel-centred and easy to use. Must tell Ellie about it. France is awesome. www.hollj.blogspot.com

... to give us a bit of time to relax, even if for only a day, after our hectic lead up to departure. However, when we mentioned to the baggage check lady that we would be stopping in KL 'No you won't be' was her answer. It seems that the travel agent did not allow the day stopover and we (read me according to Michelle) did not pick up the error on the tickets. So London here we come in one hit. To the kids credit they handled it well. Not the first time i'd be thinking that ...
