Figeac to Bedeur – 15 kms

Knowing we only had a short walk today, we took our time having breakfast at the hotel and didn’t get away until 9am.

It was already damn hot, and 32 degrees was forecast.

It was another boring walk today, mostly along roads and the sweltering heat didn’t help things.

We arrived at the campground dripping with sweat, just after 1pm.

The nice lady greeted us with some cold water, then showed us to our mobile home. Then she mentioned the swimming pool.

‘Swimming pool?’ We both said, our eyes lighting up.

‘But we have no togs!’ The despair evident in our voices.

The kind lady said, ‘doesn’t matter, you can go in naked.’

Okay, that’s what Mike wished she said. What she really said was, ‘we have togs you can borrow,’ and she bought out a big box full.

We made sure to keep our underpants on.

So, the afternoon was spent swimming, doing our washing, and drinking beer.

We met a guy who noticed us speaking. ‘You speak English?’ He said.

‘Oui,’ I said. ‘You?’

‘Yes, I am from Germany.’

We got chatting and he is travelling with 15kg on his back and he has taken 1 week to get to where we have taken two weeks. The reason he carries so much is because he is camping. Bugger that.

Then he started talking about the meaning of life and that he is searching for the answer and we decided it was time to leave and cook our dinner.

Mike strapped my right foot (not the sprained one) before we left this morning following the instructions of a youtube video. It helped heaps, so we’ll strap the left one that way tomorrow too.

We saw a horse pulling funny faces.
