France up till the 15th june

---

It has been a while and I'm sorry for that. Internet connections in France are crappy to say the least. We did manage to find a way of parking in McDonalds carparks and using their free Wifi, so got a few Facebook posts out.

We have just had 8 days travelling down through the west coast of France from Dunkirk down to Biarritz. It was darn cold up the north...even compared to England so I was happy to start our way towards Spain where I knew it was warmer.

We came across numerous towns which looked like they would be really neat in summer but were complete ghost towns with nothing open! really weird actually. We got as far as La Rochelle before we spent more that one night in one spot. Here Dan got a kite in, and we camped 5 steps from the beach.

Explored the islands Ile de Re and Il d'Oloron before heading to Dune de Pyla which is a famous paragliding spot with HUGE sand dunes. Made Dan happy. (Dan would have been happier with a paraglider in his hands DJ)

in Spain now, where the internet for mobile phones is cheaper and the folks a little warmer.

Cheers
