Travelling....Looking Ahead

We've been in the UK for a few weeks - doing house things, seeing friends, looking after daughter's cat, wondering why our new caravan isn't here yet.. and planning our next 12 months travelling ..kind of, anyway.

A decison though....   All being well, we'll be travelling in Argentina, Chile and Brazil next January, finishing up in Rio for Carnival.  Sue's planning that one and it's looking good.

The Iceland article in the February edition of Caravan Magazine seems to have gone down well and it's tempting to do another documented tour, this time through Scandinavia, for a number of reasons. We'll see. Or we might just do some more of the UK coast.

We found time to do some of our on-going coastal tour in and around Rochester. Very nice, too. A town of two halves, I think. Wonderful castle and cathedral.

Back in Nerja next week.

Fascinating house sandwiched in a terrace

Walking up El Cielo

Well, we tried, with no expectation of getting above the snow line...

Here's the track:

A great walk with the group, just 200m below the summit of the local peak, El Cielo, above Nerja at 1508m above sea level. That's not bad at all. The snow was mainly dumped the day before the walk unfortunately. Locals tell us they have not seen so much snow on the surrounding peaks for 30 odd years.

The leaders correctly judged that conditions were too risky above the snow line, so we marched back down again...

Perhaps we'll try again before the year is out.

So near...

That's why..
