More changes..

It looks as though my brother Neill is onboard for the trip.

He has been planning routes of his own and the way out is roughly the same as mine until we get to the south west of France. His route angles off before mine and goes through the Túnel de Somport.

It makes the route down slightly shorter but not much in it. It would be nice to go over the pass and ignore the tunnel but I don't think we have the time.  From Somport it is still about 4 hours to the hotel.

I would like to keep my route back though. It would give some variation to the trip.

We can look at other places to stop off on the way.
