Real big sleep in real beds. After that rich dinner yesterday, strictly yoghurt and fruit for breakfast .... Nicolas is courageous enough to have a croissant.
Cloths are dry by now, we get back on the bike knowing that some very nice landscape of the Ariège department is waiting for us.
Crossing the mostly single lane "Col de Pailheres" at around 2.000 m altitude.
Splendid views on the "Route de Corniche".
By lunchtime we arrive at the "Grottes de Lombrives", the biggest caves in Europe.
Hot dogs before the 2.5 hours guided tour starts.
Easy to remember in French language: stalactites with a "T" like "tomber" go down whereas stalagmites with a "M" like "monter" go up.
