Biarritz (May 24 2005)

Finally, real-time [minus one year] blogging... Due to the leg cramps I was feeling, we ended up stopping off in the south of France to have a day on the beach (this would eat into our Barcelona time significantly). We got to the hostel before it opened and had to wait around for a bit. This is the neighbouring lake where we killed some time before getting settled into our room and meeting our new roommates (Hal and Ben??).




We borrowed some of the hostels' bikes, which was an adventure of it's own, and headed off to town.




After a day on the beach we decided to get back on course and head to Madrid, but it turned out we wouldn't be making the connecting trip in Irun in time. Having seen all we needed to see of Biarritz, we decided to head to San Sebastian the next day with our new traveling friends, Hal and Ben.
