<\/p>\nLe Sauvage to St Alban sur limagnole<\/b> – 13km<\/p>\n
Steps: 29267<\/p>\n
This morning I looked out the window and was greeted with a grey ole rainy day. I opened the window and promptly shut it again as an icy blast slapped me in the face. I told Mike to rug up warm.<\/p>\n
After a hearty breakfast we were on our way, thankful for our wet weather gear. It was actually kinda neat walking in the rain when you’re all rugged up nice and w<\/p>\n
arm.<\/p>\n
We have a system. We bought some cheap ponchos from the $2 shop t weigh only 64g. These are great to throw on quickly in a light shower as they cover our packs and keep us from overheating.<\/p>\n
Then on the cold and really wet days, we chuck our raincoats on, then the poncho, and we have a double layer. It’s worked well so far anyway.<\/p>\n
It was an enjoyable day as we ambled along through forests, farmland, and little villages. Except I lost my gloves, dammit. I loved those gloves! Let’s hope there are not too many more cold days, although Mike has kindly offered me his.<\/p>\n
We did a bit of singing today, changing words around to songs to suit our walk. We have both now settled into our walking holiday and are enjoying it.<\/p>\n
We keep meeting people we’ve met before. We seem to be walking the same speed and distances as a man we met at the first gite in Montbonnet. Lynda called him mountain man because he eats horse and frog.<\/p>\n
My sisters are about 15km ahead of us as they like to walk long distances. We may catch up with them or we may not. I find between 15km and 20km to be about right for us.<\/p>\n
Tonight we are staying in a gite in st Alban sur limagnole. It’s very nice and we have a private room with a double bed. It’s the most expensive place so far, at 85 euros for the two of us, but that includes a four course dinner and breakfast.<\/p>\n
It’s always a surprise as to what we get for the meal of the day. So far we’ve had lentils and sausage, chicken and polenta, paella, and pork with scalloped potato.<\/p>\n
Excited to find out what’s on the menu tonight. Hopefully not lentils!<\/p>\n
