Driving from Spain to France

So far we have choosen to avoid the toll roads and drive on the smaller roads to get more of a feel for the country.
On our drive from Arc de Bara in Spain to Marseilan Plage in France the options were 3h20 on toll roads or 6h00 on non-toll roads. We only got away around 11:00 so decided to do the toll option.
The roads were busy and there were SO MANY TRUCKS!!! Ryan counted trucks for about 20 minutes and got to 333. My guess is that we saw about 4000 trucks for the day.
We did get to see some interesting landscapes and bridges too.

 

We had a quick stop at this service station where they sold these big jars of honey. Who buys a 5kg jar of honey at a service station???

 

Just before we crossed the border back into France everyone got stopped by the police. We had to wait for ages for the police to get there roadblock set up. When it was our turn to be checked, we just got waved through. The boys had so many questions.

Our next stop was at a Catalan village. We had a wander around to stretch our legs before the last bit.

 

We had pizza for dinner with some Italian wine, that we bought in Spain....and drank in France.
