Espalion – Rest Day

After a hard slog over the last 3 days we decided a rest day was in order. We woke up just after 8am and took a leisurely stroll into town for our morning coffee.

It felt so good not having to do anything and my feet are thanking me for it.

We popped into the chemist for some ligament cream and met the aussie lady we met the day before. She walked into Espalion the easy way, along the river, something I would have done had I known about it. Turns out my sisters knew about this and took the shortcut too!

We’re going to slow our days down from now on. It’s just not enjoyable when you are aching so much.

Our cabin is right beside the river path and we sat eating breakfast watching the walkers wander by. We saw mountain man again from our first night.

It’s been a glorious day, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and I’m having my first wine of the day.

For dinner we had melon and parma salad to start, followed by steak hache, egg, and salad, and chocolate for desert. Yum yum.
