Wandering Eastwards

Aussois - high and cool
It is six weeks since we docked in Santander and we continue our slow ramble eastwards via the Pyrenees and then the Alps: so far we have visited Panticosa (Spain), the Ariege, Briançon, Puy St Vincent then Aussois and Avreiux in the Maurienne. Generally we have have managed to stay high and avoid the worst of the heat, Aussois (4,800') was especially good with chilly nights and great sleeping conditions throughout our stay.

With it still being August everywhere is still very busy - but hopefully another week and the arrival of September should finally sort that out as everybody goes back to work and school.

Our onward plans including eventually heading to non-Schengen Croatia so as to extend our time in Europe - let's see how that goes.
