My esteemed travel colleagues and I crossed into Andorran territory from Spain at 1:00 pm; it was drizzling and just plain grey outside.  Luckily, the temperature hovered in the mid 40s Fahrenheit, so we didn't have to worry about freezing precipitation.  We found a large parking lot near the French post office and started walking toward the main street, Av. Meritxell.  The tourist office we walked by was closed, the shops we walked by were closed; Andorra was cl…

I met up with my friend Enoch, who I met in Iceland and we decided to take the bus from Barcelona to the tiny country of Andorra.

In the fall of 2004 I needed a change - there was only one answer: a roadtrip alone. I always wanted to see Alhambra and I just had to go for it. I ended up with 8600 km in just 2 weeks - and it was great.

Well they said we'd never make it but we did. Okay it wasn't in the VW Campervan, instead a year old VW Golf, but we did get there none the less. Anyway this is the journal of 4 plucky explorers (Me, Nick, Anna & Kerry) who decided it would be a good idea to drive to the XII Festival Internacional de Benicàssim in Benicàssim, just north of Valencia.
