You two must have loved the peacefulness after all the people in the pre-school opening frenzy, Amboseli.
That 10% doesn't sound like much, but your pictures show what a tiring climb it would be.
More lovely photos! The pink wildflowers are a delight, especially in that setting. In one of the pictures, it certainly looks as though there is a great deal of horsetail (Equisetum) growing in the foreground, indicating a good deal of moisture. Quite a contrast to being up on the sand mountain.
Thanks for the answers on the dune, everyone. And thanks for that link in #27, Kerouac -- it's really great to see your report & Amboseli's side-by-side, especially as they're almost exactly four years apart.
Looking forward to you pedaling out more pictures of this great trip, Amboseli!

Yes, Bixa, we truly enjoyed the quietness after all the tourists (except us ) had gone. The Landes must have a humid soil view the many ferns in the forest.

A very good tour of Bordeaux, nice to see you dabbling your toes in the water feature. Although you didn't attempt to emulate the 3 Graces, or did you??

Magnificent views of all the beach places, and I am not even a person who is a great fan of the seaside. But I always went to go there sooner or later, because a change of scenery is essential from time to time. I have vague plans to return to that same part of France before long.

Now you understand why we bought first an apartment, then a house in the Landes! We are about 95 km south of Biscarosse but the beaches look the same.

Really enjoyable report - so many contrasts within - I guess that makes for a great holiday indeed. The Landes is stunning - yes bjd can quite understand. Glorious.

So glad you bounced this thread back up, Lugg, as I see I failed to say how much I enjoyed those expansive beach shots that perfectly capture that special light of sand and water.
