All the above pictures are from the Arcachon Bassin while we were stopping at Andernos les Bains which is on the Atlantic coast. The first pictures are of Howard sitting on the beach at 9.30pm while we watched the sunset. The next set of pictures are of the Dune Du Pilat - the dune is 105metres high, 2.7km long and 500 metres wide. It is calculated that there is 60 million cubic metres of sand in the dune. We climbed up the 150 steps and it was then a further 10mins walk on the sand to get to the very top. Due to the wind changes it can move 20ft either way each year and it has been reported a couple of houses already buried at the botom of the dune. The other two pictures are of the lighthouse at Cap Ferret which is 52 metres high and we climbed up 255 steps to get to the viewing platform.
