5 X The Fun

Distance driven today 285km (177 miles)

Total distance 1915km (1190 miles)

Time to change things up! After 8 days in Sarlat, we packed up our stuff and drove to Bordeaux airport to drop off Inna and then continue to the town of Pyla Sur Mer, which is situated in the Arcachon Bay.

It captured our hearts quickly with its sandy beaches, pine forests, lazy streets and warm climate.

The kids spent the whole evening digging and jumping from the border into the soft powdery sand.

I would love to have a holiday home here, just need to save up 3-4 mln 😔

The next day we explored the Dune of Pilat, which is the biggest pile of sand in Europe! Now this probably wins as my favourite experience of the trip, even though I was sick and had a temperature, just couldn’t miss this natural wonder.

The climb was steep, but even Sophie crawled up with determination (before asking to be carried).
