Day 88 – Guerret to Cuzion

Saturday July 30, 2011, 58 km (36 miles) – Total so far: 3,175 km (1,973 miles)

We left Gueret and had another hilly days ride. We both couldn’t wait to get out of the mountains. We are carrying way too much gear.

We navigated to a town called Eguzon as it looked pretty major and we were sure to find accommodation there. We are pretty paranoid now as we have had numerous occasions of being cold and wet and there being no accommodation.

We were knackered by the time we arrived Eguzon. We found the tourist office and enquired about the camping but it was going to cost us 25 euros to camp!

We knew there was another one about 6km away, but when we got there it was a 3km detour (which means a 6km detour there and back).

We ummed for a bit trying to decide whether we could do the 23 kms to the next campground but decided a 6km detour might be the better option. Until we came to an extremely steep downhill. Extremely steep downhill means pushing our bikes up the next day. We ummed again about whether to continue.

We decided we had come this far we should continue. I was panicking that is was going to be expensive like the other campground. Greedy campgrounds really piss me off. We made it to the bottom and were pleasantly suprised. It was a nice quiet campsite next to a river, and it was only 6.90 euros to camp. Panic over!

We cooked our dinner, drank some red wine and tried not to think about that steep hill to climb in the morning.

Nice reflections from our camp.
