Some of my blog seems to be missing so just will have to continue on. The roads up to the mountains were very narrow. I was scared we were going to crash over the edge as there was just enough room for two vehicles with very little spare room. But Gerry drove like a trooper and got us there and back safely. We were right up in the mountains and could see snow on the peaks ven though it is Summer. We stopped on he way back at. Small village called Broto and had a ...

Have arrived in Ainsa and settled in. Today we drove to Torla way up in The Pyrenees and then had to go bus up a very narrow road high up in the mountains. We then took a two and a half hour walk further up - stunning scenery.
