Saturday 24th August. Hendaye.

Goodbye St Jean de Luz. Nice but full of tourists.

For a place that I had never heard of before, Hendaye has a big marina and busy airport. It is on the border of France and Spain and is Basque.

I think I've got it covered with the flags.

First impressions are very good. Apart from my first visit to Bilbao (where the Harbour master knew my sister), this is the only place I've been to where I haven't been asked for my passport, insurance and boat registration. Strange.
