River Drôme to Die

That River Drôme has brought this journey into a new dimension. Gone the plains of the Rhône and now more spectacular views following this river valley. It's completely different and inspiring regardless of the suffocating temperature. Shouldn't it get cooler with higher altitude!

This is a different lifestyle where you pay in cash. And have to go to a cashpoint (in  hurry) to pay for your meal. Never rely on a card alone in more remote locations.


If he didn't come this way he should have (Hannibal that is) although this is early days in the foothills of the Alps. No beers are recognisable is a good sign of local produce. Importantly they taste good. The local and renowned fizzy Clairette wine is beyond the places I frequent. 

Spot the real person with a real dog in this image of a happy fulfilled household on the Drône. Good luck...

    1. So good you could look in Malcolm. I could wish I'd brought a lot less warm clothing as it's been so hot. Even here approaching the Alps it's cooled very little.

  3. The man and his dog are the only real objects. The rest are paint images
