Our Travel plans for day 1

We will be flying to Biarritz from Dublin on Ryanair on Sat 26th May. Unfortunately we will land until 14.40 local time, which makes it impossible to make the train for St Jean Pied de Port as it leaves at 14.42 and next one is not until 16.47 and arriving at 19.35. http://www.voyages-sncf.com/dynamic/_SvHomePage?_CMD=cmdHomepageUK for train times in France.
We wanted to do a small walk on our first day, so I had a look on Internet and found a cab company in Biarritz that said they could take us to St Jean in an hour http://www.taxis-biarritz.fr/. As there will be 5 of us, this means that we need to get two cabs and it will be roughly €40 each.
So we decided to go with this plan, get to St Jean and start walking to Orisson http://refuge-orisson.com/. We booked this with the help of my brother Maurice, who is a fluent French speaker. For €30 we get a bed, breakfast and a dinner, and it looks great on the website.
