We're trying to make the best of a good spell of weather while it lasts. Yesterday was a beautiful day which we spent on a walk between villages on our side of the valley.
Today we decided to tackle one of the high peaks (Monte Sumbra) on the east side of the valley, although we never intended to go right to the top. It appears in a book we have for our area called "A Series of Relaxing Nature Walks". However the article on today's peak is accompanied by pictures of fit young helmeted climbers tackling a "Via Ferrata" near the summit!

| The lake of Isola Santa shows its wonderful turquoise colour |

| Barbara liked the flowers on this little roadside shrine |
 |
| Barbara and a goat eye each other up near our highest point |

| Looking back to one we climbed earlier (Pania della Croce) |

| From our lunch spot - hard to tell the slope, but the Lego houses in the village of Arni at the foot give some sense of scale ... |
