Left Foix after a full day with Kidda coaching his last session in the morning. Still very cold but the sun was trying to peep through. Gibb seniors arrived as we were leaving so a quick hello and we were off to Pau. The trip took about 2 ½ hours and we arrived at 7.30pm. Jonathan Marc our French coach for the next 10 days was already there and our French farmhouse (Gite) was open. It is so gorgeous- a converted old stable with stone walls, tiles floors and chunky beams, we instantly felt at home. I had pre cooked a spag bol earlier so dinner could be relatively instant.
A plan for the next four days in this area and then in Seu , was sorted in conjunction with the plan that some of the athletes have from Thomas. There are lots of options and they will paddle at Pau artificial and natural course, Orthez and St Pe. We may also have a trip to the beach at Biarritz as we awoke this morning to blue, blue skies and even had to lash out with sunscreen.
We have no internet at our gite as it is out in the country, but Jonathan assures me the French team just sit in the car park at McDonalds and use theirs. I write this from the riverside in Pau in anticipation of uploading outside McDonalds later.
