The day of 10 passes! We follow a lot of roads taken by the Tour De France, including some of the highest passes. Plenty of challenges today: steep cliffs, cows on the road, construction, but we made it to Tarascon alright!
Time to head into France! Taking in some lovely pass roads and twice climbing through the fog, above the clouds, what an amazing experience!
We stayed two nights in our hotel in Pamplona, taking a nice little loop to explore the beautiful city of San Sebastian on the Atlantic ocean.
What a day! We covered more than 400km's of mostly twisty roads to arrive in sunny Pamplona!
We had a great first day! Hot, sunny weather, empty, dry roads and nothing but us and the mountains.
