We will spend our last days in France exploring the Jura region, known for its wine, cheese and outdoor adventures among its stunning lakes. Thereafter our travel itinerary is still flexible, with the broad outline as below.
As always, please share your stories on good/bad experiences you have had along the way as we will appreciate any advice or recommendations on activities, accommodation, etc.

That should bring us to the end of the Mediterranean summer. Thereafter, it is still a mystery. Thing is, when you start to travel (and when Forrest starts to run) there is always a next destination just around the corner…
"That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just run across Greenbow county. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I'd just run across the great state of Alabama. And that's what I did. I ran clear across Alabama." – Forrest Gump
