Day 6. Nasbinals to St Chelly d'Aubrac

With a slightly disturbed night of maybe too much aligot and hearing the rain pouring down outside we headed off into misty rain . For the first time it was quite chilly but I guess we are high up. The town of Nasbinals is very pretty but small and isolated. We climbed up to the summit of the Aubrac plateu and had a stop at a tiny shepherds hut where the rain continued to fall so the ponchos were put on and then after being up at nearly 1400 meters we descended slowly to 800 meters. I say slowly because the path was very rocky and slippery but it was wonderful to get out of the exposed plateau into the cover of chestnut oaks and beech trees. The cattle were just grazing peacefully and Jane and I keep wanting to take photos of them.
We had lunch at a cute café with giant cowbells adorning the walls. Delicious blueberry pies and expensive coffees ( 4 euro each) Lee declared the soup he had was the worst he had ever!
It was only a 17km walk today but varied and pretty. I did manage to have 1 fall but luckily backwards onto my shoulder. No harm done. It made me feel better that a young guy behind me also slipped over.
Saint Chelly is very quaint and population of 600. I feel like we could be in a ski lodge.
