Uzan to Maslacq -24 kms

Yep we’ve been walking for 5 weeks now and it sure feels like it.

When we left out gite this morning, thunder clapped all around us as if celebrating that we managed to get away before 8.30am.

Five minutes into the walk it chucked it down with rain. I put my raincoat on followed by my poncho, then it stopped. I walked for the next 90 minutes in my rain gear, too scared to take if off in case it rained again, but of course it stayed dry.

Then I started overheating as we climbed a hill towards the town. There had been no rain for 90 minutes and the skies looked clear. I whipped off my wet weather gear and had just finished stuffing it in my pack when it started pissing down again. Unbelievable!

Tonight we are staying in a nice big house all by ourselves. It’s really nice and has a great outdoor area.

The owners have stocked the fridge with food for us, and a big carafe of rose. Yum yum. And our room has air conditioning!

Big house just for us:
