After a night sleep in Béziers on some residencial street choosed in a somewhat random (but not that randomly) way, i was close to the spanish border. So, at 8am, engine started and 100km to reach Perpignan by national roads.But, because i needed to do more than the 600km of yesterday, i entered in Perpignan on the highway directing Spain and to cross the Pyrenees. Although the mountains looked high on the distance, after having no problems crossing the Alps on highway, i was pretty confident all was going to be ok.
In fact, not only went well, but almost near the border and uphill i was taken over by a polish truck that obviously greeted me, and still with some energy on my 652cc engine i was able to overtake him a couple of km ahead to thank him. In fact, i believe all the polish drivers greeted me during the trip.
At the border, and because they still do some random checking, i was pulled over by the police. Luckily i believe they just wanted to check a bit better the car (their exact words were: "esto es la ostia, nunca he visto uno igual"), so they just asked for my ID. Nice guy. I didnt had to show them any documents of the car, which could lead to some questions, starting by the fact that the car was not registered in my name. My excuse to give would be: "....its from a friend....". Never will know if it would have worked....
I was still undecided if either to stop in Barcelona to visit a friend and rest a bit, or continue trip until Madrid. Because i was ahead schedule, decided for the second.
