We are taking a day off here in Conques (pronounced conk), having walked a bit over 200 kilometres in all. We've had sun, clouds, and a couple days of light drizzle. We've spent nights in a yurt, an old prison, a monastery, an old farmhouse. The food has varied as well. Breakfast is generally coffee and tea, juice, bread, butter, jam--then we stop and have a picnic about two hours later!
The trail surfaces have run the gamut from asphalt to cobblestone to dirt to gravel and fairly slippery rocks. I think we're through the worst of the up and down until the Pyrenees. We're feeling strong and are able to cover more ground faster, though we don't cover more miles--we just stop earlier.
Sounds amazing! Can't wait for pictures! (I am sure there is not time or good internet to post yet). You stayed in an old prison and a monastery??? Sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your posts, Robyn. Been thinking about you and following along on Google Maps... learning some new geography! Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteGot your postcard from Le Puy! Very exciting to hear about your adventures. Here it's been windy an windy again. Everyone got excited about rain, a little sprinkle while I was gone Easter weekend to North Carolina. I am getting ready to leave for Greece on Monday.
