Fontanals Golf Girona

Today was my last full day in Andorra. There wasn't a huge amount to do. It wasn't snowing, but the wind was so fierce that it seemed like a sand storm made out of snow. I had a great time watching a group of cows grazing in snow up to their stomachs. Other than that I had a walk around town and spent about an hour at a ...

... only thing in sight, a bus in a gravel lot. It then struck me why there were only 2 buses that left from the &#8220;station&#8221; per day, there are only 2 trains per day. So, half relieved and half amused, I loaded my things onto the bus, paid the short stout Spaniard my fare and saddled up for the ride to Canillo.<br><br> At first I could only laugh to myself as I got on the bus watching the tiny but wide driver bounce back and forth to blaring salsa ...

... between France, Spain and Andorra with 3000m peaks rising up all around. Up past charming little villages where all the little homes are made of stone stacked upon one another with only the slate rooves peeking through. <br><br>We drove the truck as far up the road as possible, and then even a little farther than we should have. Feels like complete mountain wilderness, but there are ...

Went up to the Col de Port this morning. At 1250m it&#8217;s the big dividing force between this valley and the next. A climb of around 300m from where we are currently staying. The mountain road twisting and turning, making it almost impossible to go faster than 50km/hr. Turns so sharp you&#8217;re forced to go over the lines or slow to a crawl. But of course, if you&#8217;re going to meet a vehicle on this road, it will be at ...

Geez, hes so forward thinking....<br><br>right, he's back from the shopping now, so time to go, talk more at the next time we have internet (btw, never spent so much time at McDonald's in my life, but they seem to be the only guarenteed place to get wifi in France, go figure!)....<br>

... and I&#8217;m reporting you to HostelBookers tomorrow as a fraud! That&#8217;s all there is to say, except that you better not charge my credit card, or then I&#8217;ll report you to the police! Y puedo hablar espanol tambien.&#8221;<br><br><br><br>It would just be nice if the $100 room were nice, not just four walls and a boob tube. The phrase &#8216;boob tube&#8217; has meaning here, too. Late-night Spanish TV has sex ads that ...

WHAT THE BROCHURE SAID: This second day of riding is a big day that travels over the most feared cols in the Pyrenees,<br>but it is also some of the most spectacular riding. Firstly we have a nice gentle warm up to<br>Laruns, base camp to the stunningly beautiful Col D&#8217;Aubisque (1709m). The cafe on the top<br>provides a perfect ...

... hopefully next year ...), and I'd only misplace or forget about them if I kept them. <br><br>The bus was quite empty, with only maybe 10 people on board - I would soon find out why this was the case ... I arrived in Andorra, and stopped at the TI to check on connections to France - only a very early (around 6 AM) or late afternoon bus was available to the nearest French town. ******! Luckily, I am going to Toulouse tomorrow, and there is actually a bus ...

... in London later in the week so I figured a couple of days in the south of Spain would be a nice way to spend the time. Girona airport was one of the most horrible airports I'd seen - small, dirty and crowded. On the other hand, the medieval town of Girona just 12km away was supposed to be worth seeing, so I decided to go and have a look in the time I had free before my flight. I only had carry on ...

... River. Girona felt like a medieval city to me, the colors reminded me of an Italian city such as Florence or Venice, and I wished we had more time than one day to explore. We were also surprised by the variety of restaurants, modern, traditional, experimental.....unfortunately the one we picked was a disappointment, but how can you not go into a place that offers such delicacies on the menu as, "confuted rabbit" or "pie of fragmentation hand grenade"? In the morning we had ...
