We slept between 2.30am and 4am in the car on the motorway in Spain. The night was quite cold and short :(
We then crossed the mountains in the middle of Spain. We climbed up to 2000 meters, surrounded by fog. The panorama was beautiful :)
We are now in Algeciras, the weather is finally warm (after the endless winter in AAchen :) )
We cross Gilbratar's detroit sunday morning at 4am. This may be the last post before we come back to Spain in 10 days
