• Day 13 - Saint Jean Saint Maurice to Pom

    May 4–5, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    Today is Simon’s birthday and the Plodicus is very tired - he is plodded out.
    We had a leisurely start to the day as the cafe we were planning for breakfast didn’t open til 10! We headed up there at 10 to find they would only serve coffee and hot drinks 😳. All other restaurants were shut 😭 so we headed off on our longest walk yet on empty stomachs. 6 Km on we came to the village of Bully - this to our relief had a campsite with an open cafe 🙌. So we were able to feast on a cheese baguette 🥖 and hot drinks. This set us up for the remaining 14 kms.
    We were doing quite well up until the last 4km when Mary wanted a sit down and Simon decided to bolt for home! Result Mary’s tired feet made her a little ratty. 😂
    We have a lovely apartment overlooking the ancient priory.
    Simon keeps getting worrying flashbacks to his surprise party last year 😆 but feels safely far enough away for no repetition!!
    We are booked into a local restaurant for hopefully a nice birthday meal 🤞
