Andorra

Easter in Spain is something special. On 'Semana Santa' everybody takes a small holiday and leaves town to spend a few days in the mountains or at the beach. You can not imagine how silent and empty a city can get until you have visited a city at easter.
Maria José and I also planned to go away for some days (but not to Holland), but finally decided that after working so many weekend to make our home perfect and comfortable, we should take the opportunity to enjoy it.

Of course, four days at home is a little bit too much, so to start our short holiday we headed to Andorra to do some shoppings. The typical items people buy in Andorra are gasoline (we made sure that our tank was empty when arriving - the difference in price was €0,10 per liter), sugar (we bought enough), perfums, cigarettes (unfortunately we don't smoke), clothes (it appeared that most shops have the same owner, must be a rich guy!!!) and electronics (at the moment we don't need anything).

We took our swimming clothes with us to visit Caldea again, but after a day shopping we preferred to go home instead.
