Day 11: Toulouse-Foix (89 Km)

Day 11: Toulouse-Foix (92 Km)

Another big day today and boy was it hot!

We stayed in a right dodgey camp site last night so decided to get up early and hit the road. 

It took us quite a while to get out of Toulouse itself but when we did we were greeted with some pretty amazing roads with lots of uphill and obviously lots of downhill runs where we managed to get up to speeds of 50 Km. 

I can't see this photo that well on my phone but this was our first view of the Pyrenees, yeehaaa. 

As the temperature began to rise above 30 degrees I began to slow quite rapidly but after a quick water stop we were back on the road. 

Fields & fields full of Sunflowers. Does anyone know why they are growing them? Seeds? Biomass? Both?

We are now in a hotel in a place called Foix. The shower is amazing!!! We have just been out for some food-pizza & chips! Yummers. 

We now plan on heading in the direction of Andorra but are checking in with the local Tourist Information Centre to see what the craic is.
