The weather improved massively on Saturday, reaching 18 degrees in the afternoon - mid-January! We had a fantastic morning, our hosts chauffering us on a treasure hunt that their son Jerôme had done for friends of his. The towns and scenery in the footlands of the Pyrenees are breathtaking - the second photo was taken in a shop window in Espelette: look carefully at how you SHOULD cook your chicken. .
I'd love to take more time to visit without the pressure of getting to the final destination in time to eat! But, what a place - perched up in the low hills (steep enough for me though) with fabulous views over St Jean-de-Luz and the Atlantic Ocean. The tiny restaurant does wonderful omelette and chips with good wine and the obligatory Pastis. Apparently we ate just over the Spanish border but as everyone was speaking Basque, we wouldn't have known!

It's hard to know which photos to put on. I'll do another post later today...
