Days 35 and 36 were spent at Tavascan, where we met up with the boys yesterday evening.

Tavascan is a another (small), beautiful village complete with medieval bridge and church – and a great taxi guy, Ivan, who without any English, recognised and collected the boys off the bus at Llavorsi seamlessly.

The valley has a lot of history as an escape route from the Nazis during the Second World War – so quite interesting as well.

Then off on the trail this morning with the 4 of us, not just 2, really good for a change 😎

The inevitable climb was in the trees and relatively straight forward even if 1000m up. Short walk then across the col with great views both ways before a long descent back down through the trees, eventually ending up here in Areu.

We might need to have some adjustments in rucsac weight distribution tomorrow as well – slow those boys down a bit !

Then this afternoon, we’ve been at the river, not quite deep enough to swim but still good to lie in the rapids and cool off.

Tomorrow, we are up at the Refugio so don’t expect to be in contact. (This could be a major test for the boys to be without wifi for a day or 2!)
