Today we had a much needed rest day.

We had a sleep in and late breakfast then wandered around the markets.

I bought some cortisol cream for my bite, then sat and had coffee, followed by lunch down by the river, followed by an afternoon nap.

At dinner we met two young guys we had been passing on the trail over the last two days. They also had a rest day here. Neither of us could speak each others language but we communicated by pointing to our sore bits.

I feel like I have had enough of walking but we’re only about 1 week away from st jean pied de port so feel we should at least make the effort. We’ll see how it goes.
