• Day 18 Lectoure

    June 10, 2024 in France ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    After a big day travelling yesterday and a busy few weeks we slept in today. Peter is feeling a bit better but still very coldy, croaky voice and no energy. Warm day with a few clouds.
    In search of breakfast we went out only to find almost everything is shut on a Monday as well as Sunday!! Nice coffee at the bar from last night then we found a very small supermarket open...bought some supplies, detoured to the pharmacy and then home for breakfast. We saw many people and/or pilgrims walking through Lectoure carrying only a daypack and their walking poles today. Whilst Peter went back to bed, we went in search of the bigger supermarket, a 20min walk away. Bought enough supplies for the week and traipsed home via Le Bastion, a restaurant looking west over beautiful countryside. We enjoyed a panachet under an umbrella marvelling at where we are and the view.
    Late lunch, laundry and a snooze.
    Chris and Janet went and saw Teen this afternoon while Peter and I snoozed. At 7pm when the restaurants opened for dinner, we headed back to La Bastion for pizza and bruschetta whilst taking in the view again.
