Bayonne – Third Day

After the watery awfulness of yesterday we went to bed hoping for better things to come. Waking a couple of times during the night I noticed that………..it had stopped raining. When we got up this morning it was still not raining. Then, in the middle of breakfast, it chucked it down all over again! This…

Bayonne – Second Day

I’m rather afraid that there’s not much to say about today as it’s been a complete washout. Not just raining but absolutely chucking it down from dawn to dusk, this was the view from our window this morning. We delayed breakfast as long as we could but sooner or later you have to do something;…
