This course is buzzing as always heaps of people around. Large fleet kayaks to learn on flat water, lots rafting and big restaurant area with free internet. Lots bus tours and people around all the time.
Went for a walk earlier with Jane and Aaron's girlfriend, Steph , into the town area. Some cute little shops and we bought arborio rice for dinner and some grated parmesan. It is great having the chance to cook as you have to shop in local supermarkets and speak with the locals. We have catered for the 4 day camp on 20 Euros pp and we have eaten delicious meals. The electric frypan and large pot that kidda had at his house in nottingham has been well used. Pancakes, french toast, herbie roast potatoes, rissotto with chorizo and veges, stir fry,toasties in the frypan and more. Large bags oranges at supermarket for 2 euro, melons, peaches, nectarines all in plentiful supply and good price.
Last training in Seu just about to start. Team doing full runs with Ozzie seniors and Italians, Molmenti and co. Still lovely and warm but our house is quite cool so hanging out inside quite alot. We have a paddling pool which Luuka has been soaking in. Will add photo. I had to supervise an exam for her today so she was happy to chill out afterwards.
Cooked early dinner (4pm) , rissotto as hard to juggle food around very early and very late training. We ate at 10pm last night.
Yesterday we went to Andorra to have a look at shops and arrived at siesta time so limited amount open. We were just finding some when it was meeting time. It is a tax free haven and large European clothing brand, Zara is made in Spain and some nice things and discounted. Will go back on the way to Pau tommorrow. We bought tapes and fire wire cable for laptop as someone had lost our other one.
Even boys were into looking as cheap skiis, cameras etc. It is only about 25mins from Seu so an easy drive.
We head off to Pau tommorrow ( 4 hours) for a small French club race in the weekend at Lourdes and then training at Pau the venue for first World Cup.
Hope all well in NZ.

Sounds bloody gorgeous; Im putting on weight just reading about the food. Might be an idea to send info, pictures whatever of the course to Manukau council so they can see what an investment it might be... no need to go recession-blind.
Hullo Bradyn, hows your homework going?
Cheers, Phil.
