We took the night train from Paris to Bordeaux to visit our friend Etienne. We didn't sleep that well in the train and I was still really tired in the morning. Etienne came to pick us up from the train station and I fell asleep in the car. The guys went to check out something at Etienne's work and I continued sleeping... as I also did at Etienne's sister's.... It was a bright and sunny day and Etienne took us, aswell as two of his friends to Dune du Pyla, Europe's biggest sand dune. Whoa, it was awesome...sun and sand!
