And as you say, spoilt for choice for places to eat or just to sit with a drink and watch the world go by. <br />Sounds like you had a great time!Pipéradehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05833448350486048217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792654918474025710.post-9343374827053870132011-08-02T14:12:40.198+02:002011-08-02T14:12:40.198+02:00I didn't realise, when we journeyed south in M...I didn't realise, when we journeyed south in May that we would be staying so close to Piperade Towers! Lucky escape I'd say (for you ;-) )<br /><br />We loved St Jean de Luz, and wished we had more money to spend, sitting eating, and drinking in the wealth of cafes/bars. <br /><br />Camping by a nearby beach was wonderful. I miss being near the sea, so 3/4 nights listening to waves breaking on the beach was just lovely.<br /><br />We were very lucky, weather was hot, and I think we'd arrived in advance of the main tourist season, so the camp-site and facilities were clean and reasonably empty. <br /><br />One day we'll go back and drive up into the Pyrenees and make it to the Guggenheim Museum, we were so tired this trip that we needed to just unwind.<br /><br />Bon continuation.POW16783https://www.blogger.com/profile/04620499688347144538noreply@blogger.com
