Hossegor summer 2007



We went end of august to the seaside in France at Hossegor.
We had an apartment thanks to a friend of mine, Hans (thanks!!).
The first day we started to Lugano and after 7 hours of drivin we stopped and slept in the car, the day after with others 5 hours we arrived in hossegor where the weather was not really good.
We went to eat, as usual, at le Napoli restaurant, where they do the best dish in the world: the cozze with pomodoro and grilled pieces of meet and french fries!!! SLURP!
Always all the weiters laugh a lot cause we eat with a lot of passion that plate!
The second day was not the best wheater in the morning so we decided to go to Bilbao in Spain! There are 2 beautiful skateparks where I skated and Marie filmed me!
After we wanted to go to the Guggenheim museum of modern art: http://www.guggenheim-bilbao.es
The Museum from the outside is really incredible


..and from the inside we don't know really cause it was closing...
so we went take a walk in the city that actually was in a big party all over!
We searched a good place to eat and we found this good asian buffet on our way..
It looked pretty good and new. the Buffet costed just like 12 euro and you could eat as much as you can! There were like sushi, all kind of good fish, meet, potatos, salad.
I ate so much that I had to do a photo with the weiter.

this was the beach where we chilled, surfed and got tan, not many people (just on the waves) and a lot of sun for the rest of the vacation!
Finally I got my first wave good done (not pictured by Marie...)...
and a lot of "toasting" (good pictured by Marie...)... yes I'm inside there...
get up you!!! cammmmmon!
Last night we went as usual to:
- drink a beer Troll at the beer bar
- eat the cozze at le Napoli
- eat the super ice cream

but at Napoli the owners or the weiters at the end of the diner offered us all the white wine we drunk! we almost cried... eheh so sensitive for the food!

Last day we started to drive at 14 pm and after 12 h with 30 minutes of break to eat we arrived home!

romantic week end at Portovenere in Italy







Portovenere (sometimes, in English, Porto Venere) is a town and comune (municipality) located on the Ligurian coast of Italy in the province of La Spezia. It comprises the three villages of Fezzano, Le Grazie and Portovenere, and the three islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto. In 1997 Portovenere and the villages of Cinque Terre were designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.














This week end we went to a skateboard contest and video premiere of "la ghigliottina" in Fidenza near Parma in Italy. Sunday we went (surprise trip) to a beautiful place called Portovenere! Is in Liguria like 100 km south of Genova!

We stayed at the Royal hotel for two night. Nice, the swimming pool is with real see water!


















Yes, we rules!



















Marie fighting with waves coming and searching for nice shells..



















Thanks to my fisherman friend we ate delicious fishes!!

This is the end of Portovenere, you arrive in a "grotta", you go in and there's a little golf with incredible waves!

Portovenere was just a long week end but very very nice, romantic and funny!!
