Day 22 – 2NT Opening Day

Lascabanes to lauzerte – 24km

We had breakfast a 7am and were away by 7.40am, an early start to try and beat the heat. It made no difference, it was gonna be hot no matter what time we left.

37 degrees was forecast for today and it was hard work with alot of the walk being done in full sun.

Every time we found a tap, we filled our hats up and poured them over our heads.

Thankfully today there were many water stops as well as drinks stops. We saw a fridge in the middle of nowhere, so we stopped and had a juice.

In the afternoon, a lot of the route was in the shade of trees, and I wrote a little song about how much I loved them. It’s called, ‘The Trees of Shade.’

We are closing the gap on my sisters. Last night we stayed only 9 km from them. Then today we were only 7km from them at one stage.

We hope to catch them tomorrow, but doing so will require a 28km walk in ridiculous heat. We have to catch them as we are needing a game of Bridge.

Tonight we are in another lovely gite that was recommended by last nights hosts. Again our own room, double bed, and bathroom.

Wonder what we’ll have for dinner tonight?

Dinner was cold soup, meat and salad, an amazing moussaka, cheese (I’m loving goats cheese) and an amazing desert.
