Today is the day of the passes, not less than 7 are to be conquered today. The most spectacular of course was the Col Tourmalet which is as well the higest pass for the Tour de France 2240 m. On the Col de Aspin we met by chance an Edelweisser from Australia, Bruce and he was giving the best regards to Angela, Claudia and Wim......  Little World....
