Bonjour encore!

Bonjour encore! I hope everyone is well and had a good Anzac Day at the RE. We are very greatful for the emails and updates from everyone by the way, sorry we cant reply all the time, hopefully we will settle down in Hossegor and sort out some regular internet.
So Hossegor is where we are at this very minute, Capbreton to be more precise, but again I will have to rewind to San Sebastian. Also, if there are more mistakes than usual...deal with it! These keyboards give me the shits!
So we stayed 3 nights in San Sebastian, I think I covered our journey there last time but I just needed to add this part in...we went into a cafe that had the menu in both English and Spanish out the front so we went in, and I put on a big smile and said hola to the man serving, and he replied in Spanish...I appologised, said I couldnt speak Spanish and we took a seat. And then...nothing. The rude p#+ck served everyone around us, cleaned tables and blatantly ignored us. Anyone who knows me, knows this is playing with fire, and it took every ounce of strength in me to not yell expletives at him and have a fit. We ended up having to walk out and find somewhere else to go. Would that happen in Australia? I think not, be happy that you just get moderately rude people in Oz, not full blown jerks. phew, out of my system....
So we left San Sebastian, and headed for Biarritz on a sunday. Not an awesome idea, its probably best to travel weekdays when everything is running..We walked the streets and I swear took the longest route to get to our accomm but it was worth it when we got there. Les Alize was a really lovely hotel overlooking the ocean and a popular street. Nice room, but no fridge...we made a makeshift fridge out our window with a plastic bag and some water...its not the first time we`ve used our Macgyver skills to make a fridge. In Paris it was a rubbish bin and water on the balcony for the beer! Anyway, while in Biarritz we saw the local markets. Markets..HAH! They were selling jackets roadside for 250euro! Nothing was under 30euro (60ausdol). Who goes to the markets with 600dollars! The french do apparently. We went to the Museum de la Mer (Museum of the Ocean) and it was worse than underwater world if you can believe it. Ahh, we went to the Chocolate Museum which was moderately amusing because we got chocolate buttons on entry, but the signs were in French, so we were in and out pretty quickly.
One night we went and had an amazing dinner at Le Surfing on the ocean front. I had a salmon fillet and Trent the lamb chops, why am I telling you this? Because things like that are super exciting when you`ve been eating ham and cheese on a baguette day in and day out. But don`t get me wrong, im not over bread yet. It will never defeat me! In fact thats what we had for brekkie this morning, peanut butter on a baguette! Peanut butter!!! A small home comfort.

So yet again, we suffered from bad weather, the winds from the ocean are so cold! We really had to force ourselves to leave the room on some occasions.
We generally enjoyed our stay in Biarritz, we met some lovely people in the shops and restaurants and the town is nice to walk around if you dont mind the odd uphill walk. So moving on again, we took the train from Hendaye near the border of Spain and France to Bayonne (a town that has a chocolate festival soon!) and a bus o Hossegor. We were dropped off at about midday, the worst time to be looking for accommodation! The siesta is common here too, and the shops shut til about 2 so we had a relax in the park til my provider, my man, went and found us a unit on the beach. We have booked for 2 weeks, and the apartment is small, but nice. I can`t believe though, that some people live in these tiny places permenently. You would go crazy, im sure of it. Anyway, we have a kitchenette so we have been able to do some grocery shopping at a place called L.Clerc. Rude sods they are; you have to pay to use the trolley! I dont fink so!! So far we have cooked up some pasta, salads and quiches, and generally saving a lot of money. Hossegor is a really lovely town, and the beaches, when the sun decides to play, will be lovely im sure.
I will update you more on our adventures in Hossegor soon, but right now i need to get off this internet that is costing me 14 dollars an hour!
love you all..xoxo
