19/05/09 ~01~386km~ Andorre !!! Andorra!!!

After quite a long way covering dried (30C, South of France) then luxuriant (Pyrenees mountains) vegetation, a number of narrow climbing roads that our van bravely fought and won, we arrived at Andorra! What a surprise to see the snow everywhere!!! And we naively thought that Andorra was a country as well as a town, but we later discovered that we were not really at Andorra (the town) but at Pas de la Casa, little Winter village. As we were in short and T-shirt, we decided to start by geting more appropriately dressed and put on some jeans and sweater. If I had not forgotten mine... :-( Doesn't matter, we went for a walk around to visit the cigarettes/drinks shops (there's only that due to the low tax level!). Our first night has been in a car park, along other camper van (restriction on parking in the street at night). A good first day!

Francais a venir...

一早到郵局領取來的恰恰好的包裹：一本來自英國，名為《歐洲》的旅遊指南。我跟X在離開英國的時候，為了避免增加行李的重量、也因為我們認為在法國也可以找到一樣的譯本。但後來才發現，在法國只能找到各國的指南，所以，只好託英國的朋友幫忙寄送了！

十點半，X和公婆喝完最後一杯臨前的咖啡，駛出公婆家門，開始我們的旅程。第一站是夾在法西兩國中間的小國安道爾。我對這國家一點都不了解，剛到還燙手的旅遊書，也對這地方隻字不提，所以…只好走著瞧了！
開了一整天的車，穿過庇里牛斯山，進入眼簾的是濃郁的森林，總在每個山腰轉角處，帶來一次又一次的驚豔。接近安道爾的時候，更是驚奇的發現，山雪才正緩緩消融，山坡上，隨處可見雪水形成的大小瀑布，好不壯觀。直到傍晚七點，我們穿過安道爾的邊界，果不其然，令我失望的是，他們根本不管護照、簽證~~~
X對安道爾的了解是：很小、低稅：酒很便宜(後來我們發現，連石油都超便宜！)
總之，當我們看到第一個城市 Pas de la Casa時，就很理所當然的覺得這是安道爾的市中心/首都 (唯一城市？)。找到可以停車過夜的地方後，我們便下車晃晃…很冷哪！14度是那裡的最高溫度…。
不過，Pas de la Casa是個很愜意的城市，看的出來完全依賴觀光來支撐經濟：所有商店都滿滿陳列菸酒、香水等商品 (法國的高稅物品)。要不就是一間間旅館。特別的是，在這城市裡，有著好幾座滑雪場、電纜車。
另外，第一晚在阿福裡過夜，這次車裡載滿三個月左右的衣物、罐頭、廚具等，可以想見其不方便……深呼吸、心想著：慢慢會習慣的~~~。
