Day 44 Senegüé to Laruns - over the Pyrenees to France

At least our rather unexpected hotel stay last night enabled us to get away earlier than we do when we have to pack up a tent. Breakfast was excellent and suitably fortified we were off towards the Col de Portalet.

Heading for the high mountains in the early morning

The route was beautiful and not too arduous until the last few kilometres. There was quite a bit of snow around.

We've been in Spain for over six weeks now, so it's exciting to be back in France!

We've had a great day in the beautiful Pyrenees and are now at a very peaceful campsite in Laruns.

Yesterday's train journey has put us well on target to be in Agen for our bus home on Saturday as well as getting us over the hot and rather boring plains north of Zaragoza. We now have more time to enjoy the mountains and the northern foothills.
