Over The Pyrenees.

Last night's car park, space was too tight for ramps so you had to use the lift - good job the mirrors fold in.

On a recommendation from Ian, I did not go around the Pyrenees but right through the middle of them, I took the direct route from Zaragoza to Pau and the views after coming over the foothills were stunning, (thanks Bill you were right for once). There were loads of lovely photo opportunities especially waterfalls and rainbows but they never translate well on a photograph, so get your arses in gear and go and have a look yourselves. There was a huge change between Spain and France, Spain was all blue skies and arid landscape, France was 10 degrees colder and more like Wales with low cloud and rain but once we were away from all the closed ski resorts and Pau (the in-breeding centre of France - but they do have a rugby team) all was well with the world, I stopped and had a meal that was non-offal and not fried and it even had vegetables. Yahoo! The next few days will be a race to Le Havre and the ferry, I have got to be in the UK to watch England v New Zealand on Saturday afternoon, you just know the match will not be shown in any French bars.


A traffic jam in Laruns, I told you it was just like Wales
I will now add photos to the previous blogs.

  1. Now that's better .. photographs ... just love Ian & Moniques house/cave and I thought you were taking the piss ... !!
    Glad you enjoyed the Pyrenees, still think it is one of my favorite places and now I know the way to Zaragosa, avoid Pau .. the deliverance valley.
    i wondered what you were going to do about the rugby this time, should be a good weekend, the winter weather is moving in for your return so your bronzed little body should look good.
    Safe journey home and get in touch when you get back, I feel a luncheon coming on ..
    Steady as you go ...
