EXPERIENCES IN LA VALL D'ARAN

When we arrived it was dark and cloudy. It was night, we traveled a lot with car. The trip took 4 boring hours spent in the car playing with the mobile phone or just telling bad jokes that made us want to go back home. I was with my little cousin, and he was like 8 years old and hated long trips like that. My sister was also there but she was sleeping, without making noise. Finally we arrived to La Vall d'Aran, and the fist thing we did was get off the car and walk for a few minutes. We park the car in a Mercadona's parking of Vielha and we started doing sightseeing trough the capital's streets. After some calls we meet a girl who let us her flat for some days. When we finished we look for a cheap restaurant to dinner, because we bought nothing for cooking that night. There were some good restaurants but we end in a pizzeria basically because the other places didn't like to my cousin and sister. Anyway, the pizzas were good. After spending maybe hours searching the apartment we found it near my uncles hollyday home. It was comfortable and welcoming, really clean and tidy. The first thing I noticed was the TV, and then an Internet router, and quickly I started laugh like a possessed. I was thinking everything was too much perfect for being real when it started to rain. It was a heavy storm with lightings and thunders, but we were calmed, we were in the flat, without need of going outside until the next morning, so we sit into the sofa and started watching an old movie in the TV. Suddenly stroked a powerful lighting next to the house, so we went to the window to watch the show. There was mistake, the mistake of this perfect apartment was in the windows ... It passed a lot of water trough them and carefully start wetting all the floor while we were thinking a solution desperately. The best one was to cover the windows with a towel so that was what we finally did. But it still raining during all the night and the towel was insufficient to stop all the water ... I couldn't understand how can it rain like this in summer ... Finally we went to sleep, we didn't care about what happen to the floor or to the flat ...

When we got up the next day, it was sunny, hot, and I was like "Really? You must be kidding me... ". There was less water than we thought. Everybody was alive, there weren't any serial damages, and the most important, the Internet router and the TV were absolutely dry. Fortunately it just rained twice when we were there and the other time it rain we were prepared. My first impression of La Vall d'Aran wasn't so good but I knew the weather will change and my opinion too. And that was it, but ... We were going to France about every day, AND IT RAINED IN FRANCE EVERY DAY WE WENT THERE !
