I have a blister.<\/p>\n<p>We headed out of Aumont Aubrac at 8.30am and 30 minutes into the walk I noticed a niggle in my little toe.<\/p>\n<p>I whipped off my socks to check, and voila, a poxy blister right on the tip of my pinky. That&#8217;s all I needed before a 26 km walk.<\/p>\n<p>It looked like it had been rubbing against my other toe, so we tried a variety of fixes which included vaseline, gauze, sticking plaster, strapping tape, and an ear plug.<\/p>\n<p>In the end we settled on sticking plaster and the ear plug.<\/p>\n<p>Today we walked through farm land and saw many cows. The highlight was a massive eagle soaring over the fields looking for his prey, no doubt capable of snatching a lamb. I hoped he wouldn&#8217;t try and snatch us.<\/p>\n<p>Today we met the first English speaking person since we left Le Puy. We said Bonjour to each other, as you do, then I noticed his Kathmandu jacket. He was an Aussie from Fremantle. I asked if he knew Dave and Kasia. He didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>It was the longest day yet at 26km. We limped into the village of Nasbinals and headed straight for the pharmacy to get a blister solution. She told me I should pop my blister, but I&#8217;m worried about getting an infection. I got a little toe glove for it though, so we&#8217;ll see how that goes tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>After the chemist, we wandered around and around looking for our gite. When we finally found it, it was all closed up, not a person in sight.<\/p>\n<p>So we asked if there was a vacancy in the hotel but it was full. So he sent us to a hotel 100m away. 1km later, we arrive at the hotel. If we had&#8217;ve known it was so far, we would have grabbed supplies first.<\/p>\n<p>So tonight we are in a hotel with no restaurant, so stale bread, cheese, and salami for us for dinner.<\/p>\n<p>On the plus side, we have a bath, and it was absolute bliss.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2913\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_160426760475067.jpg\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_160426760475067.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_160426760475067-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_160426760475067-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_160426760475067-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_160426760475067-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2916 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_143445330640203.jpg\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_143445330640203.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_143445330640203-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_143445330640203-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_143445330640203-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_143445330640203-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 3010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2914 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_132801956566423.jpg\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_132801956566423.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_132801956566423-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_132801956566423-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_132801956566423-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_132801956566423-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lunch Spot<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 3106px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2917 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_132915451532249.jpg\" width=\"3096\" height=\"4128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_132915451532249.jpg 3096w, https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_132915451532249-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_132915451532249-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3096px) 100vw, 3096px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The neck pillow Jenny threw out makes a great seat.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 3106px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2915 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_1041271647913375.jpg\" width=\"3096\" height=\"4128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_1041271647913375.jpg 3096w, https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_1041271647913375-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.wheresjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180615_1041271647913375-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3096px) 100vw, 3096px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Man towing a trolley rather than carrying a backpack<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aumont Aubrac to Nasbinals &#8211; 26 km Steps : 48166 ARrrrrrgghhh!
