Andorra









We departed Valentine’s Day.  A direct flight into Barcelona.  Easy on. Easy off.  Flying in we knew it was going to be great as we passed over Monserrat and it’s amazing geographical shapes.   Little did we know we would drive right by it later.  


Got a rental.  It was a Lynk & co SUV.  Patrick immediately impressed.  Man at the hotel said “Bonita”.  He liked it. 


Driving straight to Andorra as Patrick had his eye on checking off another country.  We stayed at Roc Blanc. A beautiful hotel in Andorra De Valle between many different ski resorts.  Awesome bath tub and they had a pool with thermal water that we didn’t make it into but definitely would next time 


Patrick was a bit surprised I lost my cool driving. The in town driving was very confusing.  Might have gone through a red light and had a near miss with the pedestrians and pissed off a truck driver.  Went through a ton of cool mountain tunnels.  Figuring the speed in the car was also challenging but the amount of round abouts definitely challenged my patience. 


Day 2.  Three countries in one day. A drive through France.  Stopping of course for some French fries. 


A beautiful drive through the Pyrenees mountains.  Passing lots of old castles and mountains and snow. 
Patrick’s goal was three countries in a day so yes… we had French fries in France after leaving Andorra and then straight on to Barcelona.  I would say we more than checked the box!
