adios andorra

From adios andorra in Santa Coloma, Andorra on Aug 08 '02

after 4 days in andorra we are headed out to barcelona in la manana

it doesnt sound too bad i guess it is only 4 hours total

spain is actually kind of a small country it takes about 14 hours to drive from andorra down to morrocco according to the nicest bus driver ever...

so the first day was getting to andorras big city andorra del la vally

where we found a room and spent like 6 hours in a internet cafe drinking and talking with the lady that runs the place and another spanish guy...good fun

next day we made it up to arisinal which is up in the mountains for 2 nights

the first day we hiked about 2 hours to a refuigo which turns out to be little huts with planks for beds and a fire place and a picknic table...it would be awesome if we had camping gear...but too cold otherwise, so we just had some lunch played back gammon and headed back down for dinner (which was ok) and wine (which is really good in this area...all spanish wine)

the next day we hiked up to a staffed refuigo which we heard was like a hotel...so we went up there in the assumption that we would stay the night...took about 2.5 hours to get up there (about 7000 ft) and it was damn cold and windy...

the refuigo was also very cold...so again we had some lunch and played some back gammon and talked to a guy from barcelon (in spanish and everything)...no really, it was an actual conversation in spanish (and a lot of sign language too of course)

so we decided it was too damn cold as we were all shivering at like 3pm and started to head out and realized it was raining...nice

headed down in about an hour and looked back to see that the entire mountain side was covered in snow...good choice on not staying there...good work sarah

so tonight is a low pro night and we are about to hit the wrapper since it is 10pm already

good night
