A Journey of a Thousand Miles…
Well, you know the old saying. Having just completed that very thing, I might change it to say that it “starts in first gear.”
Our particular 1000 mile route started in southern Spain in La Manga. We really needed some downtime to catch up on rest, laundry, exercise, and a few self-cooked meals. While this was a good place to do it, we learned the difference between low season and off season. Off season is “Sol-less” (no sun) and also “Soul-less” (no other people around.
We left the empty highrises and cool temperatures behind and headed north to cold weather in Zaragoza and then snow in San Sebastian for our last night in Spain and our final tapas crawl. From there it was on to frozen slush in Limoges before arriving in a chilly Paris.
After a final 4 days and 1600 km, we had to say goodbye to our second Peugeot. (It was a great car and if you are American or Canadian, check out the leasing programs in France.) Our next stop is Thailand, which should be considerably warmer than the 2 degrees on our dashboard below.
