Today, Alissa and I took a 12h45 train to the Basque town of Donibane Lohizune, known in French as St. Jean-de-Luz. We arrived there around 14h00 and after finding a bathroom we decided to visit the town of Ziburu (Fr. Ciboure) to visit to Zokoako Forta (Socoa Fort) but after walking for a good 20 minutes we realized it was A LOT further than we had anticipated and we settled for taking pictures of it from afar!
We made our way back to St. Jean-de-Luz and walked around the town, visiting the old church and walking along the beach. We decided to take a coastal boat tour but ended up not getting the really good one and really didn’t get to see all that much as it was a bit hazy. The sun was out and it was a beautiful day and St. Jean-de-Luz is a VERY beautiful Basque city!
Tomorrow we are going to the Dax covered market and the regular market to buy supplies to make breakfast on Sunday morning!
