Oldest Rocker in Town

Puntering at Sollieres
We had a week in Arco, which was pleasant enough but it was a bit too hat and busy for our tastes. The house was huge and had recently fitted aircon, but it struggled to cool the place below 24C which is a bit warm for sleeping. 

Nougat getting used to his cat bed :-)
Then onwards to Ausssois in the Maurienne via an horrendous 90 minute traffic jam at the bottom of Lake Garda - it was grim, we wondered if it would ever end. We had almost two weeks there - at 4,800' we were puffing a bit but the nights were gorgeously cool and I got a goodly amount of climbing done. I also had my 76 birthday whilst we were there, which was a bit depressing - but hey-ho, onwards and upwards.

Then we nipped through the Frejus Tunnel (€56!!!!) for a week and a half in one of our favourite pads - in Argentiere. The house came with a semi-feral cat - Nougat - which was a bonus - he loved the little cat bed we bought him. Oh - we had a look at the devastation at Ailefroide, and I did some climb too.
