Woke early, very excited, then started climbing as usual... we are very accustomed to this now!

Border was very exciting - at the top of the mountain we had spent the morning climbing... Spain seemed like a picture of another world as we overlooked it from a lovely, tiny village on the border!
Then had a few hours of speeding down hill (absolutely bursting with endorphins) on the (much nicer) spanish road.
