Brittany
Full day in Brittany involved oysters by the golf (when they finally arrived) and a tour of Vannes.
This was followed by a swim (sadly no surf) at the big beach near Plouharnel. Dinner at Auberge Saint Anne was indeed superb. A gastro treat.
Brittany to Bordeaux
A leisurely morning and lunch in sunny Brittany. A long drive to Bordeaux- how is it only meant to take 4hours. This involved a traffic jam at Nantes and lots of motorway.
A stop at Buffalo Grill for dinner- first time at one of these restaurants which aren't too bad at all- certainly good value. However finding the Hotel Premiere class was not great especially as a major Bride (of Aquitane) was closed. Needless to say the Hotel Premiere class was not great- we got there at 1 in the morning and left prompley the next day.

Bordeaux and Dont take girls camping!
Saw a few sites of Bordeaux before heading to Dune de Pyla. Stocked up in huge Leclerc (hardly any people in the Arcachon store). I like big Leclercs.
Dune de pyla was quite impressive, you get a great voew of the forest. After that it was onwards to Biscarosse. Quick surf check revealed continued flatness, not much swell showing yet. I was curious to see this place but to be honest it was not interesting,
We go to Seignosse before dark to camp. I had even booked an expensive campsite. Maria did not like camping. It was not good. Dont take girls camping!
Hossegor- waves
Finally got in the water. It was quite sizey first thing and clean. Unfortunately my fitness and abundance of surfers including good locals meant I did not get my share of the best ones, but had some fun ones on the inside.
After a stock up on a Gateau Basque nd checking itno a hotel- headed back to Seignosse. This time for a session whoch was a bot onshore but still some alrite waves.
Headed into town in the evening for a few drinks. Some of the people out were quite strange to say the least.
Hossegor Bayonne
Pretty small gutless waves in the morning from a dying swell. No oysters either as all the places by the lake were full.
Headed early to Bayonee and checked into the comfort of the nice hotel. Also had a wander round Bayonne and good pizza for dinner.
