When we were Andorra last month we decided we wanted to do a walk in our
customary fashion: take a gondola and chairlift ride to the top of a mountain
and walk down. We were defeated by the weather - it was foggy, windy, and
threatening to rain.
Having driven to the base of the gondola we
decided to ride the first step of our walk. Luckily, when we arrived at the
top of the ride the weather wasn't too wild and there was a veritable garden
of wildflowers for Susan to explore.
What we didn't realise is that
we had arrived at the finish of this coming Monday's stage of the Vuelta
España. (Stage three, 28/8)
What is even more remarkable is that, purely by chance, on our
way back to our apartment we drove (in reverse) the last 36km of the stage.
The cyclists will travel up these roads to the Coll d'Ordino
and up the hill to the finish at Arinsal
