Onwards to Bordeaux, Biarritz & Beyond...

The early morning skyline of Bordeaux looks like it's going to be another fine day.

A day of exploring coastline and beaches, long dogs walks and finally a perfect sunset over the beautiful bay of Biarritz.

St Jean de Luz – now officially our second next best place be to next to La Grande Maison and the Loire Valley. A beautiful fishing village with sandy bays at the foot of the Pyrenees Mountains.
We stayed a The Madison - now our all time favourite cranky hotel, a room with the sun shining in from two sides and a view over the square below, a little lift that fits only two at a time and an art deco salon. They have a great pets gratuit policy which meant that Humble and Willow were happily accepted. It's always fun taking two lively springers on holiday they don't go for the cultural highlights or the eating out - it's beaches, swimming in the sea and chasing around in rockpools that they love - so we do that too!They weren't even especially impressed with the large puppy we took them to see outside the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.

The Guggenheim Museum a surreal experience of titanium, steam and rain.....

......and yet more dog walks.
