In and around Andorra

3 week trip to Europe including Andorra and the UK.
Leaving at 2230 on Wednesday 24/05/06 on Emirates to London via Dubai. One night in Ilford then an early morning flight from Gatwick to Barcelona with Easyjet.
Andorra is only accessible by road so the next stage is a four hour bus trip through Catalunya in Northern Spain and hopefully we should reach our destination - the Aparthotel Arans by 1700 on Friday 26th May.
Ten days to explore Andorra and then back to Ilford/London for a week staying at the Travelodge in Gants Hill.

Back to Perth on the 12th June 2006, again flying Emirates via Dubai and arriving on the 13th June.
Hope you can share the trip with me.
