• Day trip to france

    September 16 in France ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    We decided to day-trip to France, to the charming town of St Jean de Luz. When Bill and I were here a few years ago, getting between here and there felt pretty easy.

    Today the first train was diverted to a bus for half the journey, then a bit of a wait to catch the tram across the border, then the train to SJDL was several hours away, so we took a local city bus. Not too bad, but seemed like a lot to get there.

    Once there we wandered through the weekly farmers market, then some window shopping. Time for lunch, but we had a hard time settling due to bad reviews, high prices, and bad service. Oh well.

    We plotted our route home, but bought the wrong train tickets so couldn't get on the 4:30. So we found a bar to waste some time before the 5:43. Back to wait for the tram/light rail to a new neighborhood, then a different city bus back to SS.

    All in all we didn't get home until 8pm, and we were all tuckered. We stayed in and enjoyed our backlog of charcuterie and cheeses.
