Sitting in McD's, all on laptops. Week has been great in Pau. Our farmhouse(gite) very cute and only 10 minutes to courses in Pau. Team have paddled Orthez, Pau naturel, Pau artificial and St Pe. Had two sessions on artificial course and apart from Kelly getting a hole in her boat everyone has loved the challenge The stadium has been open one year and today had an interview for a French newspaper and a local mayor was present. We got a very good rate to paddle there- 6 euros each and there were only our 5 boats and about another 5 French paddlers.
last night had dinner at a typical French restaurant- had the set menu which is better value but was interesting. Had things like duck gizzard salad, so proved a challenge for everyone, but we decided we needed to experience local cuisine and as I said you can have pizza in any country.
Had a BBQ at our house, collected wood and it was the real Mccoy- no gas there!
Tommorrow we head to Seu to watch seniors and Jane and Callum race and get the World Cup experience.
