I know we have only just had two rest days in Biarritz, but I was feeling a bit tired after not getting a good sleep for the past 2 nights.  Decided to get the phone and data stick sorted out and another wander around a lovely old city.

We left the hostel at about 9:30, it was a little grey and overcast, the beach had been swept ready for the masses.

We headed for the old town and walked down some of the little alleyways that make up the old town.  At either end of the street was a big church/cathedral.  We still are in awe of the stonemasons of days gone by.

We have seen posters of doors of Ireland, doors of Montreal etc. maybe we will put together a poster of doors of the world.

The older part of the city had lots of little laneways and interesting shops, and lots of bars.

As we walked towards the newer part of the City we stopped to listen to these buskers. She had an excellent voice.

We had our lunch on a long Avenue, with lots of little cafes and restaurants where people stopped to watch the world go by.  This demonstration was happening it is something about the government and extra taxes.

On the other side of the street, children were playing with bubbles.

San Sebastien has a great cycle lane through the beach area and the pedestrians looked both ways to ensure they weren\’t going to get run over by a bike.  The cycle lane is to the right of the flower beds.

We are back on line, although the YHA has free wi-fi, it is sporadic

Back on the road tomorrow.
