After a long 18 months, and with both of now retired and being “gentlemen of leisure” we finally headed for Gatwick Airport and our Easyjet flight to Biarritz.
The flight, as it should be was uneventful – left a few minutes late but arrived early. Biarritz is not a very big or busy airport so we were outside, with bags, collected within 20 minutes of landing. Our pre-booked taxi was a brand new Tesla Model Y – very comfortable and had us to our Hotel Ramuntcho, in Saint Jean-Pied-de-Port in under an hour.
The hotel is very comfortable with a lovely view from my room:
Apparently most restaurants close here Monday & Tuesday but thankfully a nice local.rustic restaurant was open about 1 minute down the hill. A very tasty dinner for two with beers and wine was a grand total of EUR43.
A leisurely start tomorrow as we face up to a 1300m climb over the Pyrenees!
Good luck tomorrow!
Good luck! Thinking of you both!
