I bit the bullet....



This is Biarritz in Southern France, on the border of Spain... It will be my first destination of my two-week adventure i shall embark on the two first weeks in August.

I have been really irritable and bored with my social life here at home. I have great friends and all, but being the only 'single' one of my crew... the idea of a good time being a night of drinking in a suburban backyard just doesn't cut it for me anymore...

I had two weeks of vacation scheduled for the beginning of august this year (with the option of a third) and NO ONE was willing to do ANYTHING... I have come to a point now where i really don't require any dependence on anyone and so...... two weeks of back-packing in Southern France, but mostly Spain seemed like a good remedy for my situation.

My plan was just Spain, but it is much cheaper to fly to France, so I booked the cheapest flight I could to Bordeaux, and made a very general itenarary of my two weeks there.... Land in Bordeaux...... get to a beach near Spain (ie Biarritz) and take it from there. Biarritz is considered one of the best spots in Europe to surf, and so I booked my first couple of nights at a place called the Biarritz Surf House... dirt cheap... surfing, drinking and just chilling....

From there, I plan on making my way to San Sebastian, Spain for a couple of similar days... and then cross the Pyrenees mountains, direction Barcelona... where i plan on spending a couple more nights... and then proceed to go up the Mediterranean Coast (beaches again) and make my way (eventually) back to Bordeaux for my return, mid-august.

I purposely refrained from making a detailed itenerary, as i really just want to go with the flow and enjoy this unique time of my life...

Buddy is so stoked and just itching now...

Aside from that....... new pad....... love it! It's effin perfect!

Catch y'all on the flip side.
