Day 0: Toulouse to Hendaye (by bus, may be cheating)

We congregate at the airport, some indulge in beers, others stick to tea.
Alan greets us at the other end of an occasionally turbulent flight.
Get on the bus in blazing heat, have a halfway stop at a service station in pouring rain.
Dinner and a briefing. Need to get our tampons during the week. Eugene has arrived independently, and sets the kit agenda based on Dan’s advice - Orwell kit for the iconic beach shot.
The motel is cheap, the aircon is non-functional. As we sleep, the thunder and lightning eventually break the humidity.
