Day 30 Eauze to Nogaro

Today a 21km walk .
Yet another delicious confit meal last night with the boys ending the meal with a nightcap of armagnac. Dorothy joined us for dinner and we heard lots more about Dorothys life. There is no Dot about Dorothy and has had quite a life as a lawyer/writer/ and an instructor of flight instructors oh and also a yoga teacher! She did however enjoy her dinner with us and we will not see her again much to Lee's disappointment 😔.
The rain fell lightly in the night and we geared up for a wet walk but actually the morning cleared into a beautiful day. The walk was through pretty countryside and lots of oak forests, vineyards, even a few sheep withonly 1 village to stop at. The village Manciet had a bullring but apparently only cows are used. All sounds ghastly. We also passed a series of lakes/dams where trout are farmed.
We had hardly seen a pilgrim until then.
Our next stop was our picnic lunch at an old cemetery and St Christi church, so in good company we ate our delicious baguettes ham tomatoes and the local cheese and my jar of mustard.
A bit of a nutter came along telling us goodness knows what but he was very energetic of what he was saying. He was on bike and we worried he was going to follow us!
There is a huge classic car rally going on here in Nogoru this weekend so can hear the cars in the distance. This town has more of a Basque feel about it but we are still in the armagnac region but I think leave it tomorrow ( boys will be sad!)
All going well and less than 200 km to go. Proud of the team of 8.
Forgot to mention the farm we passed of white ducks. They all looked pretty happy.Read more
