Via Aurelia rest phase

Latest Posts, via Aurelia

I met Susan at Marseilles airport, and we bussed, trained, then bussed again to the town of Cassis on the coast. It’s a very nice town, and on the weekends busy with day trippers and weekenders from the big city. Part of the attraction is that the town is adjacent to the Calenques national park – where we did a couple of day hikes to enjoy the spectacular scenery.

In 2009, we embarked on a one-year family sailing adventure aboard a Grand Soleil 39, "SV Mulan". Our original sailing blog is linked on this site. In 2017, Susan, Andrew, Sam & Max walked the Camino Frances from St-Jean-Pied-de-Porte to Santiago de Compostella (and rode bikes from Burgos to Leon as a blister recovery strategy), and in 2018 Jack also joined the crew as we waled the northern section of the Camino Portuguese from Porto to S de C. In 2019 Andrew, accompanied by Max for the first few hundred kms, and Susan for the Tiscan section, walked the via francigena from Canterbury to Rome. That journey is blogged in this site. This blog is planned as an alternative to the endless instagram posts used previously to communicate with those interested in our travels - although there is a linked instagram account as well!
