Summer Holiday

We arrived in San Sebastian for our first night of our holiday and this was on the balcony where we were staying

About to head down for my first swim since Jan 2008 in Getaria, Spain. We had driven around the coast from San Sebastian to here
As soon as we arrived in Vieux Beacau it was off to check out the beach and the surf

Summer Holiday
Becks and Paul Hardy, our flatmates Sally and Nuts and Ken and I flew into Biarritz and drove into Spain to San Sebastian for the night - we staying in a hostel right in town - we enjoyed and afternoon and evening in this cool Spainish town.

The next day we drove around the coast for the afternoon and had our first swim in Europe. Then it was off to pick up Bryce from the airport before heading back to France to Vieux-Beacau (about 1hr north of Biarritz). We had rented a house to stay in there for a week. Lol and Nay were staying about 20mins away in Hossegor, another coastal town, though alot bigger than ours. Our beach town had a salt water lake, which us lovely ladies walked around in the morning and it had a really nice little township and of course the  beach.

Lol and Nay came up to visit a few times and we went to where they were staying for dinner once also. The boys managed to get some surfing in in our last few days - the waves were huge, which meant in our last few days we couldn't swim as it was too dangerous- there were helicopters pulling people out of the water but earlier in the week we enjoyed lots of swims.
The weather was amazing the whole time we were very lucky.

After a week at Vieux-Beacau we drove back to Biarritz for a night and we spent an afternoon looking around the city which was really cool and then went out for drinks and dinner before flying out the next day.

It was a really great holiday which we all enjoyed.
