Expedition

(Pastori's European tour begins here.)

The Greenwich meridian.

Pastori and The Wife had spent a week in Andorra enjoying the chill weather and bright Sun of late summer in the Pyrenees. The breathtaking scenery of the mountains was taking their breath almost too much already, so they continued their journey towards Spain. First it was easy going 70 km downhill and then to the right and towards the Atlantic coast and Bilbao.

The high speed train track.

There happened to be a hashpoint on the way very conveniently, making only a few kilometers of detour from the motorway. So towards it! The point was easily located in the spacious scenery of Spain's fertile highlands about 400 meters from sea level, in a slope of a bridge crossing a high speed train track.

Before the hashpoint, we passed the Greenwich meridian. To signify this, there was an arch built over the motorway.

Pastori changing to more summer-ready outfit.

At this point, Pastori had again found the warmth of the summer, and changed accordingly to bermudas and sandals.

Our journey continues here.
