Ooh – La – La ! We’re in France !
Yes, we’re now in fantastic France but only just !
We’re visiting the famous village of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Porte , 8 kms from the Spanish border in the Basque hinterland, in the foothills of The Pyrenees.
Grab a kayak, but first …..!

Donostia – San Sebastián part 2!!
It’s a pleasant 6 km ride through the green forest hills and into stunning San Sebastian, or Donostia in Basque.
The caravan park also provides a free bus shuttle going regularly down to the local bus where it’s a short trip into the town centre.
Sensational San Sebastián ! Part 1 !
Studying the maps the following morning ….after, yes, a wonderful peaceful sleep at the cemetery, we decide to head to San Sebastián , or Donostia in Basque language .
No room at the “Inn!!”
Mark was particularly keen to visit the famous Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, so we head off.
However, after a long, winding drive up high above Bilbao to the recommended motorhome parking area, we discover a sign “ completo !” Apparently 80 other motorhomes had beaten us to it – no room at the Inn !!
So Bev snaps these pictures of the large city of Bilboa below , from our high vantage point, as we descend back down the mountain.
It looks like high-density living down there for sure!
Aloha !!…..from Northwest Spain !

Getting a Birds-Eye view aboard the Big Yellow Bus . .
