A hop across the border into Andorra...
A hop across the border into Andorra...
Day 10 was a little different from the others: today we'd be travelling across The Pyrenees mountains, through a little bit of Spain and into Andorra
We were going to ride the longest alpine coaster in the world, but along the way there were many spectacular views to see from the coach windows
Picturesque houses beside a river
This way to Andorra
A short break for the coach drivers
Time to stretch our legs
Steep winding roads through The Pyrenees
Glorious mountain views
A change of landscape
We briefly crossed into Spain
Passing through the Spanish city of Lleida
Crossing the border from the EU
Welcome to Andorra
Climbing up into the mountains
It was a bit slow going in parts - the coach got overtaken by a cyclist!
We eventually made it up to Naturland
Sorting out tickets
Naturland is home to Tobotronc
Tobotronc is the longest alpine coaster in the world
It takes 12 minutes to reach the top ... and around 6 minutes to get back down, depending on how fast you go
Lunch in Naturland's cafe
Up through the trees for a second go on Tobotronc after lunch
Zooming down the mountain
Nearing the bottom
After our ride it was time to start the journey back to France
One of Andorra's ski resorts
The tunnel between Andorra and France
Back in France, the beautiful mountain scenery continued
Another Campanile for the night :-(
