Leaving the UK

At last after much weighing of kit, packing and repacking and lat minute additions and rethinking on essential equipment Ann and Jo finally left from Stanstead Airport courtesy of Ryan Air. They arrived in Biaritz on time and instead of taking the planned train to St Jean de Pied de Port they teamed up with an Austrian couple and shared a taxi all the way.

They stayed in a B&B which was more like a refugio as they were in a dormitory with lots of other people. Not too much sleep was had for the first night!
