Day 15 Oussac to Mars de Games

We had a very nice meal lastnight with the farm grown tomatoes being the hero of the meal as so so sweet and I can never grow them like that. We ate at the kitchen table with a young French boy and his older companion. Our wine was served from a cask but actually tasted ok. We notice that there is quite alot of cask wine. In fact this morning as we had a coffee in the town of Cajarc a chap came along on his bike delivering about a dozen casks of wine to the bar.
Cajarc is another pretty medieval town on the banks of the Lot river and in fact we would have loved to have sat out in the sun watching the river life go by. The river is wide and reminded me a bit of the Whanganui river.
Reluctantly we left there armed with breads etc for lunch.
It was quite a steep climb out of Cajarc and finally we found a place to picnic and rest our weary feet.
The walk generally was ok and lots of tree cover and so quiet. Does anyone live in France!
It's nice walking along with all the smells wild mint thyme and sage plus the sweet smell of star jasmine. Lots of oak trees and cherry trees so in a month or so the Autumn colour will be stunning.
As per usual the last 4 km were tiresome but it's just the one foot in front of the other mantra and the drink awaiting at the end of the day. It was hot again today but some cloud cover at times.
We are in another farm stay and it is very comfortable and quiet.
Tomorrow we will go to the morning truffle market and see what the markets offer us.Read more
