I have decided I am going to try to finish my blog!! Not sure if I remember everything as this is one of the reasons why I try to do it on the road each night so I don't forget. I have my 2018 EPR Tour Book and my pictures to try to remember everything. 
Interesting route as we headed out as we passed through a place called Montreal!! Yes you saw correctly. On the road we could see the medieval Castle of Foix that dominates the roofs of the old town.
We travelled through the middle of the Pyrenees mountains criss-crossing the French and Spanish border. The roads were amazing as we drove the tree lined roads in the middle of sunflower fields. The shade was much appreciated as it was starting to get hot as the day went on. I also really appreciated riding in front of Corina as her bike was so loud. Such an awesome bike but really loud. We passed a sign for a golf course and I thought of Paul back home probably enjoying all the golfing he was doing while I am away. 
Some of the small towns that we travelled through had nice colourful window boxes and vines growing on the sides of their homes. Very old and quaint. On the way to Boltana one of the bikes broke down and we waited on the side of the road for quite awhile and had to find some shade as it was starting to get very hot.
Once back on the road we headed into the mountains and travelled through a number of tunnels. It was so amazing at how cool the tunnels were - almost too cold but very refreshing for sure.
We arrived to our beautiful hotel which used to be a monastery. WOW is all I can say! It was called Monasterio de Boltana and if you ever even get a chance to stop and see it please do so. It is worth the look. Our meal was as usual amazing. Once our bellies were full it did not take long to head to bed for to await another amazing day tomorrow of more riding around the area and perhaps some down time by the pool.
