Chapter #2

A twist in the tale,

so soon :)

Training mishap on day two

saw Jake and a tree go head to head -

and the tree won!

Sadly for him,

one badly mashed up ankle,

and a broken bike.
We are working on repair of both
ankle and bike!?!

I am hoping that this means

all the bad luck

that can go hand in hand

with his sport of choice,

is done and dusted in week one :)

On the brighter side of things,
there has been lots of time to explore

the scenic beauty of Andorra.

It is lush and green and beautiful.
 Wildflowers in abundance...

...and the occasional

tiny little wild strawberry....

...beautiful forests to enjoy...

...hills to climb...

...mountain lakes hidden away from view

until you come over a ridge,

and there before your eyes...

...and way up there are a

whole new batch of

different wildflowers...

...daffodils - masses of them:)...

We were staying in the township

of La Masana...

...fell in love with 

this bell tower in the 

centre of the town...

... an afternoon exploring

the neighbouring village of Sispony,

in between showers :)

...wonderful old stone buildings...

So that was our week in Andorra,
with a slight change of itinerary for Jake :(!
But these things happen,
we have no control over the forces of
downhill and trees :)

We said goodbye to Andorra on Monday -
13 hours later we arrived in Briancon!
There endeth chapter #2 :)
See you
