Off to Spain today! Just over 2 hours in the car. As we climbed up the Pyrenees on the French side, we found ourselves in thick cloud. In the middle of a 3km tunnel we crossed over to Spain and came out of the tunnel to find bright sunlight!

We drove 12km to Bielsa and had lunch at the restuarant in the picture. Diesel is only 97 cents a litre in Spain so we filled up before coming back. (French prices seem to vary between 104 and 130 depending on where you fill up).

For tea we ate BBQ'd Brie, duck, horse and burgers. We had bought a cheapish Rioja in Spain - not the best we've tasted! We also bought some Sangria and some Port - very cheap by the litre in a plastic container.

Our evening game of Uno found Andre losing again, although in his defence he did inherit about 20 cards from Matt, (we play the place a zero, swap cards rule).
