San Sebastian after the snow has gone

We had missed all the weather and apparently a couple of feet of snow on the beach. It was dog heaven this morning, plus the swimmers (bobbers more like) canoeists and some rather reluctant rugby boys with their trainer. Being so close to France, the morning pastries were something I had almost forgotten about. That taste of butter!

It was another 5 and half hour drive today with rather less spectacular scenery. However, arriving in Amboise at sunset, a lovely room to retire to, dinner round the corner from Leonardo's last rest, cheese and some Bourgueil, we feel so very lucky to be enjoying this trip so much.
