Mas de Vers to Lascabanes – 32 kms

It’s now been three weeks since we started our walk and we’re well into the swing of things.

We got up and had breakfast, narrowly missing the green bus people. We had to deal with their mess though. Lids left off jam jars, yoghurt pots thrown in with food scraps, and their plates and cutlery all in the wrong places.

We decided to take a variant to the route, skipping Cahors. We’d both been there before so felt no need to go back. This means we are now only one day behind my sisters.

The day was hot with very little shade and no water stops. We had to stop twice and knock on peoples doors to ask them to fill our water bottles. Thankfully they didn’t mind.

We walked a massive 32 kms today and are staying in an amazing gite just outside of lascabanes. Again we have our own private room and bathroom.

We had a delicious three course meal which included red wine so we’re happy.

The hosts here have walked all the way from Lyon to Santiago, so they know what walkers want at the end of the day.

Mike had a massive blister come ip on his heel, do I suggested he ask them what he should do. Turns out the lady is a nurse, do she got out a sterile needle and burst it, then wrapped it with some gauze and lavender oil. Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery.

We are totally off the grid tonight. No wifi or cell phone coverage.
