Well, two more days driving southwards and Gary tells me we're in Acquitane. We're parked up for the night at Ondres de la Plage...which means we're by the beach...and the Atlantic breakers coming in are something to behold. For even the surfers I imagine it's a bit too much, even the locals are standing (with us) up on the dunes and just looking. A reminder that this is the Atlantic not the English Channel...the sound is amazing, a bit like a constant freight train in the middle distance.
Oh, and the sun has come out, with enough warmth that we've been peeling off layers and taking a medicinal dose of vitamin D....
The Tollers have gone from wriggling in the snow to wriggling in the sand dunes. And I'm digging out the scalibor collars against the southern sand flies!
Oh, and we've had our first glimpses of the Pyrenees...a new mountain range for all of us! Right, now off to dinner and then hopefully to watch UpHellyAa in Shetland on the live internet stream this evening!
