Kontinental KOMBI Kaper 2016 - bound for Biarritz!

Also worth checking personal travel docs too, passport expiry dates EHIC expiry dates, travel insurance.

You will probably need to visit a passport office if your passport has or is about to expire, but EHIC cards can be renewed online and take 10 days.

Note: don't get duped by one of the companies offering a service to renew your EHIC, make sure you use the official NHS site. Link: NHS EHIC renewal

You may also need a Euro converter for the site EHU.

Is that the best way to get Euros now that the exchange rate is so low?

Don't forget you must have your registration and V5 log book documents.

Not long now...............

It's also a good idea to have the phone numbers for your breakdown cover in the Contacts in your phone - there are usually separate ones for the UK and for Europe.

You might want to think about having a translation App on your phone too - the breakdown people don't always speak English and I, for one, didn't know the French for *jack!

*I'm pretty sure it isn't Jacques

Certainly looking forward to seeing clear sunny skies, sure bored of these cloudy days!!!

I need

Haven't checked the surf reports but what ever the weather it will be a great holiday with the bays from Brazil.

Two Weeks today ,
Me and my bay,
Will be on our way.
To Portsmouth way-hay!

The pound is up again this morning. Let's hope it keeps moving in the right direction.

We'll be boarding this time in 2 weeks!!

This is the first kombi Kaper we are not going on have a fab time wish we were going

Does anyone know the cycling situation there, i.e. cycle tracks, bike hire? I believe that there is a bus which goes to both Bidart and Biarritz.

We're certainly going to take the bikes on the back.
I found a useful website that highlights the cycle paths in the area. It looks as if there is a path that links Bidart to Biarritz although some of it is on the road.

I haven't googled bike hire and tracks yet. I'm hoping the Surfwagen will agree to hump ours down as he can relax on a ferry most of the way.

However I have googled the weather forecast, which has been improved. Highs of 31c on the 28th July and sunny for most of the fortnight.

I don't actually care what the weather does (ish) - I'll be on holiday with the BraziBunch!!!

Over to you.

The Rio Olympics begin later that week. Maybe our theme could be 'Olympians'?

Could we do it a day earlier than the 3rd as we travel home on the 4th and will have to start packing up ready for our departure?

Looking good.

Long may weather like that continue ... Bring on the Sun

HH there's an aircooling unit fitted in the rear of your camper!

Can I remind everyone about having a spare key to use as your 'surf ' key and to bring your spare ignition set, choose a key buddy to look after your spares.
