Still on the Road...and having fun in the Mountains..
Hi everyone
sorry I've not been able to update my blog,
internet connections, and greedy campsites prevent me at the moment from telling you all that has happened..!!
I've survived though...
Since my last blog..
I've had a few days on the Cote D'Azur
where I cycled into st Tropez,
met up with Jackie and Joan, frinds from Home,
and got cooked dinner from them - thanks !
Also had a day sightseeing in Monaco/ Monet Carlo...
I then headed up into the hills behind Nice, and Monaco,
and had 3 great days frightening myself to death, doing different Via Ferrata routes...and staying out 'wildcamping' in the mountains, at very isolated spots, including various sights as the 'fireflies' dancing in the woods at night ! Great..and left just in time before all the torrential rains and flash floods in the area...well done Wally !
I then travelled to Italy, and stayed for 3 days with Lynne,(Susan's childhood friend) her husband Fabrizio and daughter Elizabeth, who all treated me like Royalty, fed me, took me sightseeing around Chiavari,took me to a very good 'Michelin' restaurant...and most importantly..did me washing ! Thanks to you all..
I've now travelled to the Lake Garda area, and am staying at Molina de Liedro, which I will use as a base to do some Via Ferrata's around the area, after the weekend Music Festival (free!!) which takes place around the area..
Then by next Friday 25th June I should be with my Grandchildren Ethan and Elijah, and their Mum Sarah,in Germany ...before travelling home on the ferry on the 28th June (now booked !!)
I'll be able to tell more next week !!
