La Rhune and Espelette



We drove to La Rhune today and got the little electric train up to the 904m summit, on the border with Spain.  Unfortunately it was rather cloudy so the views were not as spectacular as they might have been.  We had a Spanish lunch there and then after a wander got the train back down the mountain.  

Following that we drove to Espelette, an old Basque town, and found it was in full final preparations for a visit of the Tour de France the next day.  We stopped at a supermarket on the way back to the campsite and picked up a few provisions. We had soup, cheese, bread, carrottes rapées and beetroot for dinner.
