2015 06 02 Itxassoou, France to the Basque Coast, Spain
2nd June 2015
Itxassou, France to Bakio, Spain (Basque Coast)
Okay so some of you might be thinking “why on earth is it
taking them so long to get any where”. Well hopefully some of the pictures on
this post will give you an idea of some of the awesome scenery that we HAVE to
look at and take time to appreciate.
The weather is starting to get a bit warmer (not that it has
been exactly cold anyway) and we have
discarded one layer of riding gear, the jacket liners. A couple of mornings lately the mist has been
a bit deceiving and it looks colder than it really is. We are still avoiding the Toll &
Motorways where possible so we get the best views but unfortunately this usually leads to going directly into the heart
of the larger towns which slows us down a bit, not to mention causes US to get
a bit hot under the collar :)
We crossed into Spain today which I think is our 10th
country for this trip. This area of Spain
is known as the Basque region and it is just gorgeous!
A few on the go photo’s.

| More of my roundabout photo's. I think this was suppose to be corn but who knows! |
Our first coffee stop for the day.
The road above the arches is the very steep, very windy little road you have to
take to get down here, thankfully we didn’t have to go back up the same way.
Back on the road.
So after all that beautiful scenery
on the road we had to find a place to rest our poor eyes but alas we could only
find this place :)
I hope you get some idea from the
photo’s, including the one at the top of the page, just how perfect this place is and how spectacular
the view is from the terrace.

Unfortunately they weren't serving
dinner so we had to get back on the bike to go into Bakio.
