Weather: Cold winds from snow covered mountains blowing away cloud. High pressure to use sun tan cream ignored at equally high cost. Temperatures dropping during night.
Randomly ended up in a ski resort base town after route through villages with castles, huge churches and one with a monastery where we stopped for lunch. At 2pm a crowd of young families filed into the monastery and yet the guide book said that the only tour was round a library. Not sure what that was about, but impressed to see all the kids going in without tantrums!
Several of you have said that Spring has arrived finally in the UK. We did a nice walk today and saw lots of lovely springy flowers. Not sure what most of them were but they were v pretty.

| Look at the horns on that! |
We had to squish between some very worrying cows with huge pointed horns, but we left each other alone. Burned off a lot of nervous energy on that bit so maybe in calorie input/output balance after the Christmas cake we had with lunch.
When we stopped in a little town for lunch a couple of donkeys wandered over to check us out. But they obviously didn't fancy our sandwiches. And anyway we didn't fancy their b.o. when eating said sandwiches.
