Free weekend + cheap ryanair flights (12 pounds return!!) = short trip to the French Pyrenees. Simple maths.
So a friend from work & I flew out on saturday and on arriving in Pau picked up our rental car and drove the several hours to Andorra. Theres something satisfying in visiting a tiny country thats smaller than many cities just because you can. Theres something even more satisfying in arriving in said tiny country and finding that it is beautiful. Set high in the snow-peaked mountains, Andorra is little more than a ski resort, but we had a very relaxing day walking around and relaxing at the thermal spas.
Monday morning came and we headed back towards Pau for some scenic driving below the mountains. There was only one small moment of panic where I started to drive up towards a lookout only for the road to become covered in ice and we had to retreat.
All this only to return to a very cold snowy London. No question that winter is here... How is it the mountains had nicer weather?
