The Dolomites

A little bit of sunshine in a dark time. Cycling along the Great South Wall is not advisable if you value your teeth 😬 (at Poolbeg Lighthouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaxemDKMdC70aUU0twDnxPCuR1yVUJiEa7e64Y0/?utm_medium=tumblr

So I’ve sketching a bit lately again. For every 10 pieces of shite, one will turn out well😂 https://www.instagram.com/p/CVP4ouDstp7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Glaciers; go see them before they’re gone! https://www.instagram.com/p/CTg_sXPM7C6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Found it, the monument to Le Tour. Roche, Indurain, Pantani, loved watching them race growing up. (at Pau, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTUHCUBMayt/?utm_medium=tumblr

Pau today, what le Tour de France calls the gateway to the Pyrenees. 1st say it’s rained, Irish summer rain; warm rain. I’ve been blessed with the weather so far. https://www.instagram.com/p/CTR-RV3MKUo/?utm_medium=tumblr

Got the train up the border to Andorra, just so I could get a short walk in the Pyrenees. Well worth it, nearly didn’t do it, but glad I just went for it (at L'Hospitalet-près-l'Andorre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTPvD_FsZJ2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Toulouse today, lovely city Toulouse your self in 😅 [I’ll get my coat]. (at Toulouse, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTNfg1xsLay/?utm_medium=tumblr

Nimes today. This was No. 2 on the list. One of the best preserved Roman Cities. Such a pity they still have bull fights in the amphitheater. (at Nîmes) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTK0JMjMcBe/?utm_medium=tumblr

Got to walk beside an Ibex for about 10mins. Amazed he hung around for so long, they’re normally so elusive. Still kept my distance though and made sure I didn’t spook him. They’re so nimble. Oh, Mont Blanc is okay too 😂 (at Nid d'Aigle - Tramway du Mont-Blanc) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTCpakqsHQW/?utm_medium=tumblr

Got the train up to see Mer de Glacé today. Shocking the pace that’s retreating, it’s seems to accelerating. The distance it’s dropped in the last 10years is scary! Walked inside it and it was melting on my head, so warm you’d be fine in shorts and T-shirt 😱 (at Mer de Glace) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTAPbWJswpD/?utm_medium=tumblr

When I made my list of places to visit Zermatt and the Matterhorn was no. 1. I love the Alps, the train done the heavy lifting so I could see the Toblerone mountain. It kept hiding behind the clouds. (at Zermatt, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS697yBMtw3/?utm_medium=tumblr
