Day 2: We Have a Picnic, Make a Photo Shoot and McDrive-Through to Andorra



After a little bit of a late start we said adios to Madrid for now and drove through Spain towards Andorra. Our first stop was a small grocery store and bakery to pick up some real food. Driving through the regions of Aragon and Catalonia we saw plenty of Spanish castles and bull-boards (teheheh). 

In a random Spanish farmer's field we made a picnic and someone reminded someone else "THIS IS NOT A LANDROVER". Fresh air, fresh food, beautiful scenery, none of us wanted to leave "this place of happiness".

Since we saw so many little stone house ruins we decided to stop at a small blue stone hut and make a photo shoot.
We had another photo shoot when we had to stop closer to Andorra for an accident to be cleared from the road. This time we included our big white kitty cat.

After arriving in Andorra, we had a small shopping trip where we may have had small small culture shock with giant jars of Nutella, rows and rows of cheese, chocolate, Haribo, sausages and cheap cheap Malibo. We also looked at sleeping bags, where Mirm again passed up the opportunity to buy a sleeping bag and will continue sleeping on a towel on the ground. Too cheap to buy a thirty euro sleeping bag, Doesn't that make you want to be a missionary?

Driving into the main city, Andorra La Vella, we passed one of the two McDonalds in the country of Andorra. We didn't have too much trouble finding Camping Valira where we pitched our tent overlooking the city on the side of the mountains and the national stadium. Later walking around we saw both the "French" influenced rugby field and the "Spanish" soccer field.
