Day 16 Mars de Games to Lalhenque

A quick blog as about to go for dinner and feeling pretty hungry after walking what was to be 23km but ended up being 27 km. We have found often what they say in the guide book is less than we actually walk which can be frustrating!
Had a great dinner last night of 4 courses including a duck sausage with ratatouille and baby potatoes and even an apple/ berry crumble. We all sat at gorgeous old farm kitchen table with 2 sisters from Quebec who spoke mainly French and a couple from Munich.
This morning we woke to thunder rolling in and a significant drop in temperature with rain falling.
So decked out in wet weather gear off we set. It was an easy walk but a long wet one and pretty muddy tracks.
We stopped at a village along the way and bought supplies for lunch from the local market including fresh figs and Lee's 3 varieties of a type of sausage/ salami.
The rain stayed on and off most of the day and by the time we got to our destination we were like drowned rats. The lovely host of our hotel came and collected us 5 km from the hotel which was a godsend.
Am back from our meal now which was totally delicious with duck confit and a creme brulee for pud. We will sleep well tonight.
We are right beside a church and our host told us it's the only thing open most of the week! Again in a very quiet wee village.Read more
