Rain had been forecast and it started at 7am. It was supposed to last the whole day, but by 11am it had cleared up and was nice. We spent the morning doing washing and house work-- boring--. We really wanted to spend some time on the beach, but dogs are banned from all beaches on the coast and it is too hot to leave Sophie in the car for more than a few mins. So we decided that we should find a kennels to look after her for the day. We did find a Grooming service that would do this so booked her in for Friday and Monday, with Monday including a Groom. We went back to camp for lunch and then to Cap Camarat. It is a nice drive through the woods and at the end a light house. Closed to visitors of course. We set of on the path others were taking, we thought to the 'pointe de vue' after 5 mins I asked a chap walking towards us if it was far '5mins?' breathlessly he said 5 mins? more like 25 mins!! They were walking down to the beach a couple of a hundred feet below. We turned round to Sophies disgust and walked back and found nthe 'pointe de vue' . It looked out over Pampelona Beach famous for the first nudist beach on the Cote d'Azure 5 or 6 decades ago. We also saw a small cove at the western end with fishing boats and looking really untouched. No signposts on the way back, but Google earth identified it as Bonne Terrace. I want to come back and find it
