Holiday 2
What a splendid day. I scuttled off to the church to collect our friend "the English Patient" and we assembled ourselves together to visit the Dune de Pyla, the highest sand dune in Europe. We had wondered if it would be too hot to visit the dune, but we decided to go for it anyway. So off for it went we all.
We found a super spot in the car park and ate our picnic in the shelter of the oak trees, then launched our assault on the dune. The dune was crowded, sunny, but there was a pleasant breeze that stopped it from being too hot. After a bit of hanging around at the top of the dune we descended into Pyla itself and parked by the first beach we came to. It had pros and cons. Cons : Access was awkward. A very large topless lady. Pros : lovely clean sand, super warm water and boats slowly gliding round.
Our first trip to the beach this year. Shame on us !
Then to a supermarket for ice-creams and for our friend to get the photo he needs for his youth rail card. Then home. E. P. is off out with the students on a "bye, but see you soon jamboree" this evening. We are eating sweet and sour judging by the smell.
Photos will follow when I turn the office computer back on. I didn't take any of the very large topless lady. Well, at least, I hope I didn't !
The aftermath ? I have a sunburnt nose. I look like Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer.
