Day 32 Aire sur L'Adore to Miramont

Today a hot 18 km hike .
After a night with a very hospitable Madame we set off on quite a chilly morning . Madame gave us a delicious breakfast in a beautiful dining room and she was filled with pride of her presentation of breakfast. Unfortunately the ornate bed had a dreadful kapoc mattress but we were so tired it didnt really matter. The toilet too was behind a curtain near the bed! Glad no squiffy tums!
Anyway back to the walk which was pretty in parts with more oak forests and round a part of a lake ( what they call a lake) A lot of the walk though was along small rural roads with lots of jets doing their thing. We lunched on the side of a path enjoying the tasty food of the boulangerie we bought our lunch when leaving town. There were no cafes or villages along the way.
Again we had beautiful views of the Pyrenees. The highest point is 1000 feet lower than Mt Cook.
Apparently agriculture becomes more intense in this area with the use of irrigation pivots. Hardly any stock to be seen
Tonight we are in a very attractive gite , in the country with a lovely garden . We are about to find the Spears and have a nice glass of french wine.
