Varaires to Mas de Vers – 15km<\/b><\/p>\n

A short day today as we did a few extra kms yesterday.<\/p>\n

We keep running into the green van people. They are a bunch of noisy middle aged people with no respect for others, the same people who woke us up at 5am the other morning. They are touring around with a green van. The van takes all of their luggage, including an electric chilli bin, while they walk. One woman had two huge suitcases!<\/p>\n

Everywhere we go, the green van seems to arrive. Yesterday we tried to book into a gite, but it was full up with green van people. Then we’ve seen it a couple off times, hanging out with them on their lunch breaks.<\/p>\n

And guess what happened today when we arrived at our gite? Yep. Green van.<\/p>\n

It was an easy stroll today in 30 plus temperatures. We found a nice spot to sit and eat lunch but when we brought out the meat we’d bought for lunch, it turned out to be bacon and required cooking. So we had to open our emergency tin of tuna and made a fishy mess all over ourselves.<\/p>\n

We arrived at out gite just before two, but they didn’t open until three. So we chilled in their nice garden while we waited.<\/p>\n

The kind owners let us in just after two which was nice of them.<\/p>\n

We never really know what to expect when we arrive at a gite. Will we be sharing with weirdos? Will there be enough bathrooms for the 20 people staying there? So far there have been quite a mixture.<\/p>\n

Tonight we were pleasantly surprised. We have our own private add on to the house with private toilet and bathroom.<\/p>\n

Here’s our little house:<\/p>\n
