With the exception of a few chilly nights in the Atlas mountains, we&#8217;ve seen positive temperatures on our digital thermometer for over a year now.

The bus driver sported a pair of mirrored aviator glasses, resembling something from a later Terminator movie. He was friendly though, helping us out with our dodgy German (which for all we know he may not have spoken, only 50% of the population around here do, the others speak Italian and Romansh). In fact, everyone we met today was friendly towards us, starting with the chap on the camp site letting me pet his wolf-like pooches, and\u00a0continuing\u00a0with the old fella speeding along on roller blades, the wee old lady who Ju helped with her trolley on and off the bus, the super-helpful Tourist Information office folks and umpteen people smiling and saying &#8216;hello&#8217; in umpteen languages.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"attachment_5867\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSC01980.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5867\" class=\"wp-image-5867\" title=\"DSC01980\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSC01980.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSC01980.jpg 751w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSC01980-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5867\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The closest we&#8217;re getting to an Ibex, as my Dad says they&#8217;re all on top of the mountains and we&#8217;re too scared to go up there.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The bus took us along twisting, narrow roads, accelerating up cobbled slopes Dave has nightmares about and squeezing past lorries and houses. Narrowness has been a general theme today: the villages are well developed here, with new modern buildings crowding out the fifteenth century ones, but the roads remain tight. The men here all have to complete military service (afterwards keeping all their gear except ammo at home, ready to fend off, well, anyone I guess), and it seems to show in their discipline as they\u00a0coolly compress a concrete mixer lorry past a chicane of cars, another lorry and stone shop wall, with no inches to spare.
