It was still hot enough to sit out in the evenings with our drinks.









I think Alice was impressed.
















More morning 'steam'. One night we had a thunder storm. I have NEVER, EVER heard anything as loud with the thunder reverberating around the mountains, it was incredible. I think this cloud might have been the morning after. We only had all this water vapour on one day. Because there was a main road at the bottom of this valley (way, way, down) we could hear all the cars hooting as they came up the various roads on each hairpin bend as the visibility was zilch down there in the depths. The problem for the people on the other side of this mountain was that they were in the shade for much of the day. There was a reasonably large (three shops and a supermarket) town about half an hour along the valley. We went there one day for a mooch around and although the sun was shining on the mountains, the town was in a shade, bizarre. I think it would be depressing to be in the shade for most of the year.



More views.

To be honest I was quite surprised by the ruggedness of the moutains. I was expecting more 'Sound of Music' - vast green valleys with lush grass and stuff. None of that. Though there were lots of goats, sheep and cows with various sizes of bells around their necks jingle jangling around the place.
