Mercure Andorra Palace 3m Andorra la Vella

... major city in the world and streets would be packed with rush-hour throngs, but not here. Spaniards like to stay up late and get up late, but what does it mean when the sun does the same? Not much I reckon except that Spaniards have the satisfaction of feeling like late-night sophisticates. Jo jum…

They DO have an Arc de Triomf close by and that gaudy temple to La Sagrada Familia not far from the bus station either. You ...

we've had some problems getting to this stage, and so haven't been able to keep the blog up to date. So far everything is now working out fine, and we have arrived on site to be able to set up in the light, and the campsite has electricity, so we are ok to get written up today. Hopefully ...

... 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:

... and serrano, I made a few sandwiches for the road, chatting with a Kiwi in town for a poker tournament. I think the buy-in was $10,000 euros or so, but he won a qualifying tournament late last night and won a spot in the tourney. You never know if people are ever telling the truth about themselves when they travel, as there is no incentive, since you'll probably never again see that person again. He mentioned that he doesn't work any more, because he ...

... 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 ...

... Festa Brava hotel. I seriously considered going snowboarding, but it was just too late in the season and the snow, though plentiful, was just too wet for my tastes. So I wandered about town, dodging the hourly rainfall and taking in the sights. Not too much to be seen here, but nice to look around a place I had no idea even existed!

... a massive water park inside a massive silver church like structure, but that's literally all it has- that and ****** shops everywhere. Andorra considers itself one of the shopping capitals of the world, but its basically just the Potteries centre with a few fast food outlets and a national anthem. I ate my dinner at a combined KFC/Pizza Hutt outlet- basically this particularly **** idea consisted of setting up a joint franchise with a limited selection of both companies food ...

... with him then across the Perpignan will be easier, especially in weather like this. When he drops us off the weather is undoubtedly better than the mountain and it doesn't take too long to get a lift to a peage near the highway. Even though its taking a little longer than expected we believe we are doing fine. However, this peage turns out to be pretty much in the middle of no where and is used but 1 car roughly every 2 minutes, not exactly busy. After ...

... outros, que combinados com o branco da neve, dá uma alegria enorme à serra. Todas aquelas indicações que nos foram transmitidas, tanto na formação da Andaltour, como no Manual de Vendas da sporski, são bastante importantes e devemos sempre lembrar os nossos clientes algumas regras básicas, tais como o uso de protectores solares e batons para os lábios, pois mesmo que eles já as saibam, só podem ficar satisfeitos com o nosso interesse. Este primeiro dia de ...

... for my police record to be sent here from Michigan. If you don´t have a copy of your criminal record, Andorra won´t grant you a temporary work permit. And if your criminal record says you´ve murdered five people, Andorra won´t let you work here either, I don´t think. Some employers are interested in me. One of them, "Mr. Manzano," has even given me a place to stay while I sort out my paper-work. Employers usually provide their workers with places to stay during ski ...
