We had originally planned to visit Andernos les Bains (further north in the Bassin d'Arcachon) today but since it is about a 2 hour return drive Ray came up with a cunning plan to visit tomorrow on our way to the Ile de Re. There is a potential major flaw in this plan because it involves leaving early, say 08:00, and as our readers are aware the LLW has been reluctant to assume a vertical position that early in the morning. We shall see
The weather continues to be sunny and hot and the sun seems very fierce at times. We are having to slightly readjust cycling plans because in the afternoons it is really is too much. This morning we both set off fairly early (in LLW terms) and cycled south along the coast to Le Moulleau and then inland through the Ville d'Hiver.
As we were approaching the Ville d'Hiver and consulting our map, to avoid the steepest route, we were approached by a gentleman from Richmond, Yorkshire, who engaged us in a conversation about how wonderful Arcachon and the surrounding area is. It is his first visit as it is ours.
Back down then to the promenade to find a coffee and croissant boutique! Sadly they were in short supply and croissants and pain chocolate had been sold out for the day!! The LLW was not impressed and even less so when waffles were offered as an alternative, although Ray did enjoy one with honey!
Back at our hotel and a quick consultation of the tide tables shows that now was perfect for a swim in the sea. It was glorious; probably one of the best sea swims for some time. Uncrowded, clear blue skies and wonderful scenery all around.
As you can see the LLW was very confused over which glass of wine she should drink next. These lawyers; always sitting on the fence. One the one hand there is the white wine and on the other hand is the red wine.

Time to catch up on a few emails before heading off for dinner which we enjoyed again at Le Bikini,
A lovely but breezy evening which was clearly enjoyed by the Kite Surfers of which we have never seen so many. I counted 38 but there were probably 40+.
