Day - 3, Millau to Vilassar de Dalt

A long ride today, over 300 miles, mostly on motorway, where we didn't have to pay.

Weather was pretty dull but no real rain to speak of. There were a few spots as we walked up to the viewing spot at our only attraction stop, the Millau Viaduct but after that it looked like it would hold off. Not long after that though we were on the road and I spied what looked like some serious cloud up ahead, so the proofs went on. Turned out it wasn't rain but fog! That meant I was warming up nicely, as the temperature rose to 24 degrees. I was going to wait till we got to our fuel stop but had to stop and take the proofs off 50 miles short of the stop, I was that warm and sweaty. 

We fuelled up and paid what is becoming our daily visit to McDs. I had a drink and a McFlurry. At this point we were still in France. I have no idea where we entered Spain, all I know is if was a very busy little town and seemingly at the bottom of the high street, there was the border, 

Once in Spain the standard of driving changed and the remaining part of the journey was more frenetic and certainly not as enjoyable as France.

We located the hotel ok and have free underground parking, a bonus. The place is high tech, to the point where you access your room by scanning a qr code and entering a code on a website. OK if you have a smart phone but as mine died on Tuesday, that means I'm tied to Phil. Everything is qr coded, info in the room, menu in the bar, it's crazy.

We ate in what can losely be called a restaurant, it's more snack bar than full blooded restaurant. It's ok though, a limited menu but at least the beer is a lot cheaper than France. There's no other eateries within a kilometre of the hotel, so we might have gone through the menu come Monday.

We'll have a bit of a lie in tomorrow, then head up to the circuit to suss things out, parking, seating, etc. It's all practice, no racing, so we won't miss much. Weather is supposed to be mid/high 20s degrees and sunny, so sunscreen out for sure.

That's it for now.
