I got here - at last!

I really do feel like a Pilgrim at the moment. I arrived in Biarritz 45 minutes late - so much Train Grande Vitesse, this was was definitely Train Tres Lent!

The hotel blurb on the web site said buses come very close to the hotel from the station. I still haven't found out if that's true, but the bus driver I found wasn't into helping English tourists! I got off in an unlikely-looking suburb and walked a couple of miles before I found the hotel. At least my suitcase is on wheels, but I still felt as if I was seeing Canterbury Cathedral rising out of the mist when I found the road I was looking for.
