Where I stayed
We left our magical view of San Sebastian this morning and hit the road for Andorra. We were going to fuel up in Spain as it is cheap but blinked and were in France, the best thing was the speed limit is 130kmph in France - cool. Turns out diesel is even cheaper in Andorra.
The journey was mostly uneventful, the dads stopped to get a baguette for breakfast (when in France they said) I didn't even get a coffee.
The road was long and winding - so was the song daddy D made us listen to, we ended up on the lesser roads as our navagation wench likes these, she may have a pleasant voice but I reckon there is a mean streak in there. Kilometer after kilometer of winding mountain roads all the way above 2000 meters - then there was a border control - we were waved through, might be the French rego on our car. We were then in the resort country of Andorra, we were heading for the capital, Andorra la Vella.
We found the hotel a little after 1730, school was just finishing so there was traffic everywhere. The hotel was nice looking, reception was really nice looking and the room is amazing, daddy C says it is the best hotel he has ever stayed in, I think daddy D did well to get it at a good price, even if he had to pre pay.
As we had driven the entire town already we explored the hotel, relaxed on the balcony and had fresh baguettes with ham and brie that we purchased in a supermarket in france earlier in the afternoon during a fuel stop - very very yummy.
Tomorrow we are going to Millau - daddy D wants to see the giant viaduct, I don't know what one of them is but it sounds like we are going via a duck?
Daddy D also discovered today that the car can control his iphone or ipad even when they are in the boot - so he played us music.

Andora is very pretty this time of year. I remember going there for a school trip.
