Valle d'Aosta, Italy
Ville sur Sarre
28 July 2018

Due to some problem with a tyre, we couldn't use the car till the problem was fixed. So I decided to explore the direct environment of Ville sur Sarre somewhat more thoroughly. On the 28th I took a track directly behind Ville sur Sarre, which after a while ended at a tarmac road. I followed this for some time, but then clouds started to block the sun with the promise of rainfall. Since I wasn't prepared for that, I decided to return to Ville sur Sarre.
