16 and 17 May

Crossing to Andorra reminded us to 13 years ago when we visited that country for the first time. It was as I remembered, clean and fresh; not much changed only too many more shops and less people shopping. It was our stop to buy the few things that were missing in our “home”...a hand vacuum cleaner and the most precious gift: 2 beautiful white bikes that will almost complete (think kayaks) our needs. Our bikes will become not only another way of exercising but most importantly our mode of transport when we go to the big cities.

18 May
The route between Andorra and Spain was through mountains, valleys, lakes, the small towns. We have been in awe of what nature has shown us.

supermarket in Spain: all about Jamon 

It is somehow a relief to be in Spain. To be able to communicate freely is such a change of mood. I have to say that it was disappointing that lots of people we met in France were unwilling to engage in any kind of talk, even body language! Our first night in Spain- Sort, we celebrated by having tapas with wine; our first dinner in ages! We are happy to finally be able to have a great and healthy breakfast, a “proper” homemade lunch at 2:00pm and then just tea or mate the rest of the day.

Absolutely love the pyrenees- the combo of rivers, mountains, greenery makes this route an absolutely “must” for all. The weather, sadly, did not allow us to do canoe rafting....we had the adventure already organised...:(

20 May

Coast near San Sebastian

Today we suffered the worst weather since we started our trip. Tons of water for 2 days- non stop. We missed visiting Pamplona because of it! After arriving here in the afternoon we were unable to leave our car....decided to continue the trip and arrived in San Sebastian....

San Sebastian: Excellent food

San Sebastian: main beach

It is important for me to write every day, even if I can't post it. There is so many feelings and thoughts that comes to my mind and body as we travel that I need to capture somehow....
