A Spanish Bridge, a lake, and a waterfall

We drove from Lourdes up to the main car park for the 'Pont d'Espagne' ready for the next morning.  Remember an earlier post when I said how steep could a mountain pass be???  Well now I know.........really really steep!  The road from Cauterets to the top was steep, winding. and closed until 18:00!  We had to wait for it to be reopened due to major repairs etc............Mon Dieu! it resembled an off road tank training route!

Anyway, we got there just before dark do discover a sign saying 'no overnight camping in camper cars'........... ah well, just have to claim being British we could not read the sign!

Woke up in the morning after rain all night.........we had not been told off by the 'no parking police' and so we walked up to the Lac De Gaube which sits below a Glacier.  This took around 3 hours and again we found ourselves above 6000ft above sea level.  The weather was windy and overcast but quite mild.  
On the way down we looked at the waterfalls by the 'Spanish Bridge'.  Then into Cauterets for a look around.
