Misty walk home (erm... back to our hotel) after dinner in Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Spoooooky! OK, only slightly

Happy snaps with the fam in a very Christmassy Rothenburg ob der Tauber.

Little stroll in Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Cold & grey, so good excuse to visit a local tavern! Cheers!

Evening walk from Germany to Switzerland... via France... as you do Lights on the Rhine looking nice at dusk

Wondering around Besancon... nibbling churros & enjoying more sparkly lights. It's a beautiful place!

Eats at Pitaya Thai, Clermont-Ferrand. Good size & kinda tasty, but overall bit disappointing. Can't win them all

Driving in a winter wonderland Col des Issartets high point today @ 1123m. Hence the car: snail has no snow shoes.

Road trip! But why the car? Sure, some of this could go on roof, but don't fancy 4000km drive with that wind noise

Col du Tourmalet. In shorts. On 29 Nov. Beautiful, crazy warm day!

Foggy morning with first dusting of snow on the peaks this winter. Looked amazing as the sun broke through!

Been fun having this guy around but time to move on so... farewell dinner with mates from Sydney. Happy travels, Loz!

Hike to Lac de Greziolles via reservoir des Laquets. Shadows, sun & a few drops of rain. Beautiful up there though!

Sunday lunch at Chez Loulou. Mountains of great food as usual. Can't believe Pratiwi & Loz finished all that garbure!

Need a big feed after hiking 20km+ so dinner at Asian buffet: Sushi, 3 plates of mains & a million desserts. Burp!

Lac de Gaube & Pont d'Espagne... always a great hike. Beautiful (mostly) sunny autumn morning.

Quick stop to pick up some post-hike treats... decisions, decisions!

More sightseeing by car. Col d'Aubisque. Even with coffee & gateau in sun at the top it's still better by bike!

Lac d'Estaing stroll. Making friends with locals Bit calmer than visit the other week & lake is like a mirror!

When your driver spots something by the side of the road late at night - hic!... guess what's for breakfast?!

Pic de Bazes. Amazing 360 view! Lucky descent/return down other side not quite as challenging but still beautiful

Grey start today, but when the sun came was beautiful hiking through autumnal forest, passing small streams & falls.

More random sightseeing: autumn forests and saying hi... erm... moooooo!... to cattle at the Col d'Aspin.

Showing a friend around Bagneres-de-Bigorre on market day. Naturally there are lots of tasty treats to try. Nom!

When a visiting mate loses his drone flying from the house! Bush bashing in steep forests & eventually found it. Yay!
