Day 67 – Levignac-de-Guyenne to Lagruere<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Saturday July 9, 2011, 44 km (27 miles) – Total so far: 2,466 km (1,533 miles) <\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a late start leaving Bryan and Lynnes place, firstly ‘cos it was raining, and secondly ‘cos it was so darn comfortable there we didn’t really want to leave!<\/p>\n

Lynne made us a delicious lunch of melon, jambon and mint pesto, plus bread and a selection of cheeses. At 3.30pm we finally got packed, the sun was out and we left in search of Canal du Midi.<\/p>\n

After seeing Bryan and Lynnes barn conversion, we are now both inspired to find a dooer-upper in France. Bryan told us about a large house beside the canal for only 40,000 euros, so we stopped and had a look at it. It would be perfect to convert to a backpackers (another one of my “to do” things one day). It also had a little shop at the front – perfect for a cafe or bike shop. Sadly it had been sold 2 months earlier. On the positive side, the man next door to it said it would have taken 300,000 euros to do up. So that saved us a small fortune!<\/p>\n

We continued on the Canal du Midi until we found a campsite right beside the river. It made a nice change from the ghastly resort campsites along the coast. It was only 10 euros to camp and not full of motorhomes!<\/p>\n

We had a quiet night sleep, only to be woken by heavy rain during the night. darn!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
