Hihii, I'm Avril. I want to share with you what I had been doing with the arrival of Ah gong...
Our 1st Stop: DUNE DE PLYA
Mummy and I brought him to the DUNE DE PLYA, the highest sand dune in Europe. According to mummy, this is the nearest attraction as it's just 15mins drive from home. To tell you frankly, this is the 1st time mummy has brought me to visit and climb the great Dune tho we have been living here for two years already and I had great fun on the sand dune...
But before I can have the fun, I dragged Ah gong with me to climb the Dune of 107m in height with 1 to 2 short rests before we reached the top...kekekee...and to tell you a secret, mummy is so lousy..she's way behind us and panting away...she did not reached the top of the dune...wahhahaaaa...
Facts about the Dune:
At 60Km from Bordeaux, in the South of the Arcachon Bay, it is possible to visit the highest dune in Europe, the Great Dune of Pyla (or Pilat). This dune reaches a height of 107m. At this summit, the view is spectacular with the ocean coast, the inlet of the Bay, the large pine forest and, when the sky is very clear, the Pyrenees Range.
This Great Dune is constituted of fine sand which the siliceous grains have about the same size. Since about ten years, this area is also became a point of start to the lover of delta planes.
The Great Dune of Pyla is located on the “La Teste de Buch” district (Gironde) and it is a national listed landscape.
