Saintes - Bidart

After eating at the usual Boulangerie for brekkie we hit the remaining 3.5 hours down to Bayonne. I abolsutely love it down here. It has the amazing coastline with the Pyrenees as a backdrop. And it's the surf capital of Europe.

The traffic at Bordeaux was even just about ok and so made it here for 1pm with the boys dashing straight for the water slides. I even managed a run in the arvo. Oh yeah forgot to mention that J had banned the bike so had to run. Please to report that the left glute felt OK after warning up. 

My route was up the hill toward the supermarket roundabout and then following the coastal path over the array of beaches to the main one at Bidart before heading back along the coastal road to the camp site. Awesome scenery and 10.5ks in 60 odd minutes. But ok as the path is all over the place. Then dinner at home before the boys headed out at 10pm for the pool party whereas I had had enough by that stage. 

* Reading Chris Broadman's autobiography and cannot put it down. Here is a snippet about family life which I can relate to as well as the Boulangerie in Saintes and the Bidart coastal path:
