Foggy and -2 degrees!

After about 300 kms driving through the French countryside, we start our proper ascent up through the Pyrenees to Andorra. The thermometer quickly drops from +10 to -2, and we find ourselves in thick fog limiting our vision to 10 metres, being boxed in by 2 metre high snow walls.

All of a sudden we break through the fog at the top of the mountain, where the sun warms us and we are awed by the view. The rest of the way is easy going, but once we reach the capital, Andorra-la-Vella, we get a rude awakening, with the craziest driving we´ve seen so far- even worse than Bangkok!

We battle our way through the narrow old streets (built for horse and cart), hoping not to scratch our lovely rented Merc. Finally, hungry at the hotel, we realise it´s still another 2 hours until the restaurants open for dinner at 8pm...
