Our trip to the Basque Region-Bayonne, Day 2
Sorry guys, I am woefully behind on blog posting. This summer has been very busy!
The second day of our trip to the Basque region was a bit of a lighter day. We stayed in Bayonne, which is where our hotel was located. It was a lovely city, known for its chocolate. Originally, we booked the trip with the intention of going to their annual chocolate festival, but discovered after we had already booked that the festival had been moved to the fall! We did get some chocolate while we were there though, and it was quite delicious. We wandered around the town and visited some of the local sites, including the cathedral and the Château-Vieux, a medieval fortress that is now a military complex.
After that, we went to a Tapas place by the river for lunch. We tried a little bit of everything and it turned out to be quite delicious! Tapas are one of my favorite things now. For dinner, we ate at Michelin recommended restaurant called L’inattendu. We had the eight course meal, which was definitely a unique experience! It is amazing how something can taste unusual, until you pair it with something else and it is absolutely amazing. (avocado ice cream, anyone?)
