The morning after the night before. Around ten in the morning after a night at the campsite near Dax. This morning our neighbours were not assembled watching our ever move; our audience was still asleep and there was no sound from them. A quiet night meant that we had woken both feeling refreshed although I think Tom was still suffering from all of his drinking exploits on the Côte d'Argent two nights ago. A mere three hours after getting up, we had packed the bikes and were ready to leave (still no stirring of our neighbours by this time). Today we are headed for the northern Spanish coast just above Bilbao. The plan is for a short ride south, across the Spanish border and thence to somewhere around San Sebastian.
