Into France at last.
From Andorra we travelled to La Jonquera, a border town between Spain and France which is once again stuffed full of duty free goods.
Before leaving Spain, we decided to 'go the pretty way' and instructed our satnav to find an alternative route to the sensible one she had mapped out for us. This route took us through the pyrenees, as we are so glad to have travelled this route as the views on the journey were quite breathtaking. So were some of the bends! We stopped on our way in a lay-by and enjoyed lunch looking down into a deep valley. It was interesting to note that spring had not yet arrived up there and the trees were still bare. As we got further and further towards sea level, the trees became greener.
We stopped at La Jonquera to pick up a few things and then queued for ages to get through to the French border. As a confirmed Francophile, it felt really good to be able to understand road signs and order wine which I knew I would enjoy.
We are now staying at Camping Les Galletes near Argeles-sur-Mer.
