... and I’m reporting you to HostelBookers tomorrow as a fraud! That’s all there is to say, except that you better not charge my credit card, or then I’ll report you to the police! Y puedo hablar espanol tambien.”



It would just be nice if the $100 room were nice, not just four walls and a boob tube. The phrase ‘boob tube’ has meaning here, too. Late-night Spanish TV has sex ads that ...

... days will get some entries soon.

Today, we started from France, and drove a few miles into Andorra. So we have now done 10 of the 11 countires!!

Photos to follow, I'll just go back and put some news on the other days, then get photos loaded up. That takes ages.

... the watershed and we drop into the Spanish frontier town of Bourg Madame. We continue east across a wide plane undulating over the Col De Llous (1345m) and the Col De la Perche (1570m). From here a unbelievably long descent takes us nearly al the way to our
hotel. Prades has a reassuringly Mediterranean feel about it, with lots of courtyard cafe's and
clay tiled roofs.

WHAT I EXPERIENCED:

... hopefully next year ...), and I'd only misplace or forget about them if I kept them.

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 to bed. Did I mention that we tried to take a couple of mountain passes only to be turned back by snow on one and bad roads on the other. Yep.... snow. Now when you are travelling on a narrow road in the fog with no guard rails, straight down and straight up and with opposing traffic....and it starts to snow.... well, the biggest question in our minds was how were we even going to turn around. Fortunately there are actually people living up there ...

... s ski resorts and as a summer mountain getaway for Europeans. Taking a minibus from Toulouse to Andorra, I literally had to go through rain, hail, and a snowstorm to get there! Arriving at Pas de la Casa, it was 0 degrees and snowing hard. Thirty minutes later we made it to Andorra la Vella, the capital city, where I would stay at ...

... vending machines in one place, odds are two won't work and the third probably only will after swallowing about fifty quid). Soon enough I was on the bus to Andorra and quickly fell to sleep, waking up several hours later as we went through Andorras nominal border post (a lot of coppers standing round doing **** all), that was a pleasant relief after some of the other borders I've crossed on buses- I was taken off the bus by soldiers on the Kosovo Albania border (and had to ...

... go to school. Today I'm hitching with Andre, who took an extra day to get to Andorra but I figure it can't happen twice in a row. Our first ride takes us only 5km to the next village but it's good enough to get us started. Next we wait almost another hour for our next ride to take us 20km over the mountain pass to Pas de le Casa, where we were a few days prior. We can't remember exactly how far it was from here to the border so we decide to start ...

... taking us over the border questioning us if we are carrying drugs. No I wasn't, obviously. It takes us a further 5 rides to make the 100km to Perpignan, and the final of which was 80km, il leave the rest unsaid. It was a long and slow journey. But at least we made it. The two guys were unable to make it so took the last 100km by train, which did mean I got to visit 'the centre of the universe' as the train station claimed. Now I have seen everything.

... Chris nor I can remember where the 6th bar was!!! ...could've had something to do with the extra shots we kept nicking!! ha ha All the other nights out were a bit less crazy, but on Friday night there was a 70's night and some of the male reps did the 'full monty' on stage which was quite impressive.....we didn't think they would actually do it...but they did!! We ended up on a bit of a routine - one major night out, go to bed late ...
