Day 8 - Puylauren (cap de castel)

60 miles today, awesome yet again, rolling hills and great weather, and we arrive to the most fantastic hotel, with our room facing out to a view that stretches right down the pyrenees.

Feels like we are getting close, the bar we are in is offering paella and sangria!.

It was fun watching the tour finish in paris today, down the same road we started on! They were a bit slower than us
