What a wash out! Biarritz is a lovely little place by the sea with great surf, friendly people and a nice atmosphere. The only problem for us is for us was that it was freazing and rainy (boo hoo). I decided that it was way to cold to go onto the beach let aloan the sea to learn to surf. We both decided it would be better to cut our losses and head for somewhere with some sun. We agreed on Madrid as we were going to have to cut that stop out because of lack of...

We turned up at the train station at Les Arcs Draguinan and after 1 hour waiting for a taxi, we found out that it would cost 25 Euros to get to the house in a taxi and the place was a dive!! So, we got back on the train and headed to Avignon. We found a campsite but stayed in a hostel right next to it ...
