I have only one word to describe San Sebastian - wet!

After Cinque Terre we met back up with Mark in Nice for one night only. The weather was still great but we decided we couldn´t stay in Nice forever so we packed up the van in search of more sun - greed got the better of us. We stopped off in Carcassonne which is a medieval town that is based around a stunning fairytale castle on a hill - very pretty but full of tourists - then spent the night in Biarritz. We just presumed that it was going to be warm in Biarritz and even warmer in San Sebastian but oh how wrong we were.

Biarittz was a lovely surf town and in good weather we could have stayed longer, it was full of money and more wind than Wellington.

We headed for San Sebastian in hope of some sun at least but instead got a tropical storm that has lasted the last four days. We huddled in LB for warmth playing cards and Yahtzee we also tried to blockout the weather by having a few drinks only to find that Shaun had bought a box of ten shandies! We soon realised the weather wasn´t going to get any better so ventured into town to have a look around. San Sebastian is absolutely beautiful with some great sandy beaches and even waves (which have become a thing of the past for us - hence we watched a lot of surfing). We met up with a friend of mine Kel whom I missed in Nice by a day. She was travelling on Bus-about and the bus driver sat down with us and had a few drinks, he later showed us around San Sebastian and took us to some really good tapas bars where the locals ate and drank.

Tomorrow we are off to Toulouse for the AB Romania game and to catch up with friends from London and the goss!

LB is still going strong, although he is the smallest campervan he is by far the best! I have convinced Shaun that we should buy a campervan (albeit a bigger one) when we get back home.

We have been eating so well, shopping at the local markets trying to use our broken French/Italian/Spanish. Have met so many really great people and added so many more names to Facebook.
