    Day 25 - Finieyroles - Aubrac

    May 16 in France ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C

    La Rose d’Aubrac was a lovely gite but Simon struggling more and more with the communal meals 😳
    We were treated to a bland veg soup, truffelade ( kind of bubble and squeak with cream, garlic and cheese) and apple confit. Then Simon allowed to thankfully escape.
    We were only English speakers so was a challenge- but we were made to feel welcome.
    Up early for bread, jam and coffee. Then once more onto the Aubrac plateau. A place of solitude, bird song, flowers and lots of streams to breach. Really reminding us of Yorkshire moorlands and in places the Isle of Man 🇮🇲
    We came through sunshine, wind, hail and rain - thank goodness for my new poncho 😆
    Stopped in the quaint town of Nasbinals for a lovely sandwich and got an extra stamp on our credentials (pilgrims passports). 19 km later we have now arrived in Aubrac and are sitting viewing beautiful scenery waiting to check in at tonight’s digs.
    Simon tried the local drink pastis on our wet rest day - it’s rather like Greek ouzo!!
    He’s going for it again today!!
