Col de Tortes

Cauterets                             30 km

The weather had changed. We woke up in the clouds with light rain. And it had become cool. It was downhill all the way to Arrens-Marsous. From here it was road walking to Lac d'Estaing. From here we wanted to take the bus to Argelès-Gazost and than a second one to Cauterets. There was still some time until the bus was to leave. As it was cold and wet we went into a restaurant by the lake to sit inside and have it reasobaly warm. Than the bus arrived. In Argelès-Gazost it was very warm and we spent the waiting time for the second bus in Parc du Casino. In Cauterets we had booked a room for the night.
