5/30/19 Pyrenees into Barcelona

Wow, what a day! Early exit from Carcassonne up through the middle of France to the city of Foix and the climb begins.k

Cindy and I are both huge Tour De France fans and have watched this leg over the years! It’s so steep, the camera does it no justice. To compound matters, this is a famous bicycle and motorcycle route, so bikes and motorcycles are everywhere.

Bumper to bumper traffic with bikes and motorcycles make for a hair-raising drive, and don’t forget motorcycles can lane split here. So they pass on the inside of corners anywhere they want.After a lovely picnic at the summit, we continued a memorable trip, but we made it over the top and into the principality of Andorra, a rich tax free principality.

Gas is so cheap in Andorra, people drive up the hills just to fill the tank. €2.80 a gallon cheaper.

Into Spain and through Catalonia, the area that wants to succeed from Spain. Beautiful hill county, steep decent into Barcelona. We are staying just outside of the old city center, so we will park the Peugeot and use the metro the next 3 days.

Looking forward to relaxing and walking the city. Abnb account problems adding some compilations.

Abnb host here trying to help, say a prayer for the travelers.

PS, trip time 8 hours of driving, long day🍷

Chow chow.
