We have just arrived in Biarritz, not a cloud in the sky and a nice little breeze. We weren't two minutes out of the airport when next thing I look round and Maura is sprawled out on the pedestrian crossing :) hilarious!!! She had tripped over herself and already has a lovely grazed knee :) honestly, she makes me look good. Let's hope we don't kill ourselves on this thing. Good news though- it's 40km less than we thought, so a nice round 800kms. It still seems a little unreal. It will sink in fairly fast tomorrow when we are halfway up the mountains. The first stage takes us from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port up over the Pyrenees to Roncesvalles. They say the first part is the hardest. The locals have been saying to just take our time - the night is very long away :) St. Jean is an absolutely gorgeous little spot. A great way to start the trip.
