Slumming it in Spain

Panticosa, Spanish Pyrenees

 When we headed back to the UK in mid-March, the 'plan' (if it can be called such) was to quarantine for 10 days, get our first jabs, wait twelve weeks for our second, wait two more weeks, then head off again - around four months in total. In the event, sixteen weeks after arriving we were on a boat heading back across Biscay to resume our travels where we left off!

We don't normally 'do' high summer in Europe as it is just too hot but needs must - we spent our first week at Panticosa in the Spanish Pyrenees, at just under 4000' the days were hot (30C) but at least the nights were lovely and cool at around 13C.

Onward plans include the Ariege, Briançon and the Maurienne, beyond that things are 'flexible'. Of course there is always the Elephant in the Room - our 90 day limit in the Schengen Area - but like Baldrick "we have a cunning plan".
