Etrouble to Aosta

[Bob from L.A. !]

Left Etrouble a bit late for this 10 mile (17km), downhill trek.
During the day I walked through cherry tree fields, grape vineyards, apricot and peach tree orchards. (All were tasty).
About 4 hours into my walk I could see Aosta in the distance and by hour 5 I was sitting with a cold beer in my hand.

Well done!
I love the photos. I was guided by the tourist office there to a very old fashioned hotel called La Belle Epoque. The epoque when it was belle was long past I think. The room was fine, the food was not great. But a bed is a bed is a bed!!. And Aosta a nice busy interesting place.

Great pics Bob...& such a contrast in weather to the day I walked. Rained most of the way but I still enjoyed it immensely.

Wished I'd been able to stay 2 nights in Aosta...but we know the reason why I couldn't.... Sempre avanti... tick tock, tick tock!

I am so out of it that I thought that the title of your thread, with the word “Etrouble”, meant that you were having a problem with internet access.

Wishing you a great camino!

You have been walking my adopted part of the world. We used to live just a couple of kms off the way down to Aosta, where actually my son was born.
We particularity love to walk up to Etroubles, have lunch and walk down again. The pic is of Adrian walk up the ancient Roman aqueduct leading from the Hugh mountains to provide water to Aosta (which was built by the Romans)).

A truly beautiful place to live.
