Fri Jun 5 : AMT Day 7 [ride] Andorra → Barcelona (Eastern route 3h45m 225km)
The morning was cool but clear and beautiful. The roads were perfect.
The andorra hotel roc blanc had really amazing food. Elevator was broken. Chris up early. Staff stuck in elevator. Hard to find restaurant. Super variety of food well beyond the typical range. Goat cheese, brie, several types of sausages, grilled veggies, we could have sat for an hour enjoying breakfast, but it was time to meet the group. Fresh fruit, slices of melons, etc. The rich people in Andorra eat well! Coffee stop was in a small town that looked small and dead, but then the buildings near the coffee shop were really nice stonework and they had decaf for Kathi. Salt mine tour wsa going to take 45 minutes to wait for a 1hr tour, so we skipped the tour. The engineers all tried hard to understand the big steel structure. Restaurant stop for lunch was really nice. Local sausage was suprisingly tastey. Mont Serat stop and Andrey's "crash". Room in Barcelona is really amazing. Best room of the tour. Seems like we got a special room. Much easier to explode our stuff. Closet, room for shoes, etc. Walked to dinner . Big steak on a hot rock. Botifarra sausage made with pork, salt and pepper. Kathi had some confusion asking the waitress about raw vs cooked. Kathi accidentally ordered an extra sausage. "is the sausage cooked?". On the way back, kids selling jewlrey, kathi bought a bracelet, change for 5 euros. Stopped for ice-cream, got pistaccio called Festuc and chocolate brownie.
