ANDÒRRA-FEB2022- who'd a thought it

[Stanski]

Had a manic decision approaching Toulouse, discovered no access to F1 testing next week, so blow the cobwebs, let's go via Andorra.
So here we are on SWMBO burfday, supping Magners, Martini, and eating (4x cost of drinks), in The Boss, apres-ski bar.
Luck was with us, had to stop near top of climb to border to cool the engine a tad, then got stamps in passport easily at customs, so climbed over the Col instead of tunnel at Pa's de la Casa, got to Ski resort below Soldeu, 5 mins to 6pm, before they closed entrance into MH parking, (for customers of resort).
Only torment was seeing sight of fuel price: 1.28, when I just put in 1.67, oh well, win some, lose some.
Goto go - my round, again. Hic. Another Magners signore.

Heading to Villefranche to do the train in the next few days. Toulouse Saturday, Mrs G wants to do a park run.

Park Run - good on you, do an extra lap for me please.
We (SWMBO walked the dog more so), used to do that sort of thing, but now even walking to the pub last night was painful.
New knee required, when is the unknown with all that is happening.
Did consider a day Ski ticket just to find out what I could achieve, may do on a small slope somewhere as we travel.
Enjoy.

FWIW, we toured the Netherlands and France in 2018 and on a whim elected to briefly hop into Spain and then return to France via Andorra. We stopped over at the motorhome area in Sant Julià de Lòria. Our parking spot was on a slope and it felt like we needed crampons to get to bed. It wasn't until we got back into France that I noticed an issue with our insurance, while it covered the EU, that wasn't synonymous with "Europe" and it didn't cover countries in Europe that were outside the EU -- including Andorra! So, we'd spent a couple of days driving around Andorra with no insurance
