after Le Moulin



Fuck what a blast of a week. Writing from a Te Elf- hostel in Prague
Left Barcelona and headed up to Andora a Principality come country that is tax free etc and full of rich people and well heeled tourists. It seems only to be a pass through the mountains into France.

Up through some just stunning mountains or at the time what we thought were mountains and into France and into the eastern side of Provience  through some spectacular hills valleys and forest the greens of the trees and grass just so rich and different  shades. To by chance stay at le Moulin and old 13th century mill near Le Grasse that has been turned into a B and B.

Up next morning heading for the Millau bridge the highest elevation of any suspension bridge and we were not disappointed at all an enginerring master piece that is for sure.We ended up then travelling along some extraordinary roads as we decided to go around the tunnels and toll roads. Sceinery was just breath taking. But the nest day on the way to Grenoble and Streassa in Italy was even better and to be the most amazing drive I have ever done at the time until we added the Stressa to Switzerland road up through Faibo just so amazing the whole 3 days just incredible and is the most magnificent drive I have ever done .To do it on a bike would be just the best.

So through Switzerland where every thing is in order the trees are even made to grow straight with the leaves not allowed to grow out of line either. They also know how to charge so 3 hrs was enough there as we headed for Lichtenstein where we intended to stay the night .We crossed the border where the trees were allowed to grow normally. On for a few minutes and before we knew we were in Austria for the night. That is what happens when you sneeze you can miss a whole country.

On ward through Germany with one stop at Laundstat. Which was very nice and into Cech and Prague. Rest day for the driver and a look around very relaxed town still as the intrusions of tourists has not been long enough to make it like a job to be friendly . Tomorrow into Slovakia and stay in Braslovikia.
