Day 12 Conques to Livinhac

Today was an amazingly tough day but all is forgotten as we sor around the table outside with a group of French people and singing French songs we've never heard of.
The walk was long long long and the ascent out of Conques seem to go on for ever like the descent into Conques went on for ever. It was one of our hottest days and a lot of the walk was high up in rolling countryside similiar to walking in countryside of places like Taranaki or Waikato.
The end of the walk was tough especially when we bypassed an industrial type city and it was hot! We walked from 9am until 5pm .
We arrived at our gite and thought what a strange place but honesty we have been totally charmed by our Italian host Michelino and the quirky rooms.
Dinner was served outside under grapevine s. The table full of French and meal pasta( of course) Michelino entertained us with piano accordian and the gorgeous guitar playing. Brian gave a rendition of Pokarekareana which went down well.
A magical night but I am tired and time for bed. We are now back in the Lot ValleyRead more
