A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.
Laurence took the time, when his shift was over, to show me a track up into the woods where there was this view point looking back down over the valley. Such a lovely area.

So, the big day, the climb over into Spain. It takes a couple of hours for me to cross over if I remember correctly.
It's a reasonably nice day and the first part of the ascent is straightforward, though it's a climb. I've done this bit before so I know that it's going to go on and on, and that that bit of sky through that valley isn't the pass into Spain, it's much farther than that.
