Day 2

Campsites were generally quiet

Mileage 55.6  Leon to Biscarosse Total mileage :-97 miles,  155.2k Day started sunny, but we had a downpour just before we took the tent down. But then it cleared and we had good cycling weather all day. The cycling paths have been improved since last year.  Still finding signs for Velodessey. Now they have opening date - 30th June!! Found a closed cycle path today - ignored signs and went about 5 K until we found workman who said " have a beer, it will be open in an hour.  Today we have chatted to a Dutch couple who cycled from Holland, through France, did the route that finishes in Santiago in Spain and were now on their way back. We also chatted with a guy who had cycled in Africa, Mali, Namibia and plenty of other places. He stopped because he recognised our bike. He also had a Thorn. We thought he might turn put to be an English Gerhard in France, but we soon went our separate ways.  No campsites in Biscarrosse, so forced to stay in small hotel, next door to small restaurant where we had an excellent 4 course meal, wine, beer and coffee for just over £40.  Janes recommended restaurant for last night was closed, opening tonight!!!
