Just having a squiff through San Sebastian for lunch then off Biarittz later.
We decided to move from the Aires last night in favour of the local photography/print shop around the corner at the Uni...it had hi speed free wifi...so we got Breaking Bad tv series and updated the blog!
We woke up to a parking ticket though!
Another one that wont get paid (Oktoberfest last year I got another!
And, so, we had a good wonder round San Sebastian. its a really beautiful place. Set in a bay, with and island and castle in the middle, it kind of has an English / French feel, but with a relaxed Spanish way of life.
I found a restaurant on trip adviser the night before so we headed for there.
I cant remember its name so will have to add at a later date, but it is number 7 of 299 on trip adviser. When we arrived it wasnt much more than a bar full of shouting people. Trying to work out how to order food was difficult. I went to try and find a table outside while Christian tried to figure it out. After 10 mins, a lot of shouting and a silly American girl passing out, he called me back in. You have to eat at the bar if you order at the bar.
After five minutes we had our first dish of suckling pig. Yum! Second was the scallop. Yum! And third, the sirloin - a bit fatty, but all the same very good. Washed down with a beer...and it all came to 16.20euros!!! If you are ever in san sebastian, you have to go here.
We had a good walk to get rid of lunch. Theres a big castle on the hill, which gives awesome views of the city and out to the sea. We also landed upon the beginning of some kind of boating competition...must have been a big deal as the place was full of tv crew and very busy.
We headed back through the crowds embarking on the few mile walk back to the van.
Another parking ticket.
We felt brave so decided to have a swim. Beautiful water, but the Atlantic doesnt have a patch on the Med - it was bloody freezing. Feeling refreshed albeit a little cold, we headed an hour up the coast to Biarritz.
We had found an Aires in the book, but the coordinates didnt work with sat nav. Still managing to find it, we drove in and straight back out. It was the Biarritz Aires and was pretty poor. Full of motorhomes and barely any space, it looked grim. We went off in search of another. En route we saw a motorhome looking like they knew where they were going...so we followed them.
We found another Aires thanks to them. It was right on the beach and full of surfers. It was supposed to be 12 euros, but you could only pay by card, so we were a little naughty and didnt pay. Oh well.
Me riding a canon on the castle...Christian said this isn't the way they fired them...I thought it would be the only way to fire this bad boy!!
