Boys locked themselves out last night....didn't realise the numbers on their key was the code to the door so the old climbing through the window trick. Made them feel young again.
Cycled out from Arcachon via Dune du Pyla ...a sailor's dream to stand on this huge sand dune looking out to Cap Ferret . But only in France would you access the sand dune via a plastic stair. Some amazing Swiss/ Germanic large houses as we cycled out of Arcachon ...serious real estate.
Surprising how quiet places we cycled through were now that holidays are over until we hit Mimizan ...this is a surf tourist spot.
Scarcity of coffee stop opportunities for a while this morning ...so different from the older less touristy parts of France.
Cruised along the cycle track through pine forests but also saw the more modern bland side of France.
Up to the beach front for dinner and to watch the sun set...another great seafood dinner.
