France - memo 5

We made a pit stop in St. Jean de Luz. Its 10 kilometer away from the spanish border. Actually I thought its right at the boarder, where I could have bought cheap spanish gas for the car. Damn I missed the city at the border. What ever St. Jean de Luz is a nice little town. Geant at Anglet was our next target. We bought a lot of good food. Rice, baguet, eggs, beer, wine, everithing we needed.
I missed exit 11. Really I missed exit 11. What's exit 11 eleven you wonder? Exit 11 should have taken us to a place at the coast. I didn't know what 11 means so I drove ahead till exit 13 wich took us to Mimizan plage.
Mimizan plage , a quite place. Very touristic , too many germans around. There is this one road with a lot of restaurants and a lot of people. As I wrote many germans too. Germans are everywhere, you can go wherever you want. It was allready late. We took our gasgrill and made some rice. We had a drink too, of cource. Wodka with lemon, yammi. After getting bored of this only one road with people, we searched a place for the night. We had the oppertunity to sleep on the sand on the beach again or to sleep on the grass. We went for the grass and had a nice sleep. We woke up in the morning. A part of the lawn we sleept on was flooded by a watering machine. We took our tent and got away from the grass. Short after this our tentplace got flooded too.

Surfboard rent!!!
For just 10 bucks we rented a surfboard. A surfboard for beginners, a cool one. Surfing is very hard, once you feel one with the sea you have a chance. If you start paddling at the right, the wave takes you. Still then you have to stand up. I improved my skills. I finally managed it to surf till the board got stuck on the beach. The afternoon this day we went on to arcachon.
Arcachon. I met my girl(now my ex-girl) and her friends in arcachon. We were walking at the beach and there she was my girl(ex) mona. Yes, of course I knew that she was on vacation in arcachon. We also dated the girls by sms. But it was cool to meet them by chance at the beach. Ah yeah arcachon, was is there to say? The beach is messed up by killerplants. On the sea there a hell a lot of boats. Boats everywhere you can look. We had a wonderfull diner at a restaurant. Moule (shells), what else. For desert a had a catau basque, an excelent cake. We were playing billard in the evening. French billard is diffrent then normal billard. They don't have numbers they have colors. One team playes red the other one yellow. Very strange. Our plane to sleep in the park felt into the water. It began to rain. The girls sleept in a hotel, and we had to sleep in the car for the first time.

On the way home.
We left the girls and drove away.

dune de pilat
The dune is close to arcachon. It is the biggest dune in europe. A big mountain of sand. Its an amazing place. There is a staire to the top. We made a photo session, take a look

Bordoux
Bordoux, I expected more than there actually was. We bougth some wine. Maex was shopping like a woman, beside he is a rai(zensur)ow. He wants to go shopping all the time, he orders drinks instead of beer and I saw how he grabed clousi once. I am happy, that he never touched me.

Périgeux
It was sunday evening and there was absolutly nobody in this city. We drove ahead till we found a place to sleep. pit stop in brivé as I wrote just a pit stop. I don't remeber brivé anymore. Must be a shity little town.

Clermont-Ferrand
Clermont-Ferrand was the only city, wich was not at the coast and wich was nice. The old town is pretty cool. It has cool looking churches, shopping mals and cinemas. People thought we were local, because we were hanging araund in parks. At night we went to the movies. We saw scary movie 2 in french. The people were always laughing but we didn't understand the jokes.

On the way to Lion we had to take the autoroute for a while. Further on the normal road we reached a brigde. The bridge was closed, damn. So we had to drive a while, till we reached the main road again..
