A Dune Day and a Working Man’s Dinner

Woke early and went to the Dune at Pilat (or Pyla).

It was so much fun, but quite a workout walking all the way up and down.  We went all the way down to the coast and ‘had a paddle’ as Paul would say, in the Atlantic.  The dune is a very incredible sight and all of us here would recommend it!

Afterwards, we went to Arcachon for some lunch and some shopping.  We found a public lift in a park that gave us a great view of the city.

 

To get back to the car, we walked along the beach, but the only one who actually went swimming was Sydney.

 

 

 

 

 

The traffic on the highway was terrible so we took a detour through Bordeaux at night!  With everything lit up it was a beautiful sight.

Our last stop of the day was dinner at Trucker’s.  It is a roadside stop where all the truck drivers stop and rest for the night.  It was definitely a local and one-of-a-kind experience.
