Last night, after exploring the lagoon, we played musical motorhomes, which involves driving from one carpark to another to find the best free parking where we wouldn't be alone and would be safe. It seemed like everyone had the same idea and kept moving around.... or perhaps they were trying to avoid us! Anyway as dusk approached we found a spot next to another motorhome right on the beach and spend a quiet night with the sound of the crashing waves in the background.
Today we are visiting Bayonne which is the capital of the Basque region. We drove the short distance from Vieux Boucau into the city looking around for a carpark big enough for Kiki and without a height restriction.
After a while we spotted a carpark on the opposite (left hand) side of the road which was entered by taking a turning to the right, making a shart 180 deg turn then crossing the road at a set of traffic lights. We waited for ages for the lights to change for us noticing several changes in all other directions. Finally, after juggling back forward to activate the road sensors we gave up and with nothing coming either way decided to cross anyway. We spotted what we thought was the entrance and drove into the carpark only to discover that we'd driven over the pavement and there were 1.8m barriers on the entrance and exit. We parked across two spaces and left Kiki to explore the city. The final traffic offence of the day came when we drove back over the pavement and 20m the wrong way up a one-way street to get back out of the carpark.
