Well let me leave you in suspense a little bit longer while I tell you about our day.<\/p>\n<p>This morning there was excitement at the breakfast table. Normally breakfast consists of bread, butter, jams, juice, and coffee. But this morning we got a surprise.<\/p>\n<p>We arrived in the bar and there, sitting proudly on my plate, was a croissant. Ooh la la.<\/p>\n<p>It was 8.50am by the time we left the hotel and stocked up on lunch &#8212; a baguette and some camembert. You&#8217;d think we&#8217;d never lose weight on a French diet, but my trousers aren&#8217;t so tight any more so that&#8217;s a good sign, right?. Either that or they&#8217;ve stretched, but I&#8217;m going with the former.<\/p>\n<p>Today was a wonderful walk that seemed to go up and up and then up some more. We are thankful for our Hakaramata training as we are both finding the uphills quite easy.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight we are staying at the same gite my sisters stayed at last night. It&#8217;s not as nice as the places we have stayed at over the last few nights, but I&#8217;m looking forward the aligot stretched potato stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Sister Susan told me the previous evening that we should skip todays section and catch a bus to catch up with them. I&#8217;m glad we didn&#8217;t as it was a wonderful days walking.<\/p>\n<p>It was my first day walking without my ankle strapped and it seemed no different to being strapped, so that is good.<\/p>\n<p>Right, so the bit you&#8217;ve all been waiting for&#8230; last nights dinner!!!<\/p>\n<p>For starters we had salami and salad, my first salad since we arrived. Mall the starters up until now have been soups.<\/p>\n<p>It would probably have been enough for my dinner, but then the main came out and I was glad i skipped the bread.<\/p>\n<p>The second course was oh so yummy and the best yet. Chicken stuffed with ginger biscuit (I think that&#8217;s what they said) and creamy potatoes and bacon. Oh yum yum yum.<\/p>\n<p>Then they brought what they call soft cheese, which is the texture of yoghurt. It doesn&#8217;t have much flavour and I saw one of the french woman adding sugar to hers. Yuck, I thought. Then another lady added salt. That&#8217;s more like it, so I followed suit and it tasted much better. The gentleman beside me even added pepper to his.<\/p>\n<p>Desert was a bread and butter pudding, believe it or not. I asked what the sauce was and the host said, english sauce. One of the diners said it was creme anglais and that sounded so much better.
