• Day 35 - Grealou to Cajarc

    May 26–27, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Dinner at Esther’s was actually very nice, Lentil soup, salad and lentils and galette ( made in the frying pan with onions, potatoes, cheese and a fried egg on the top - followed by an apple compote with crème fraishe. Daniel was the other pilgrim staying, we ended up having a great conversation about the state of the world with Esther translating as Daniel spoke no English. A calm and quiet night as in a very rural area.
    House to ourselves this morning as Esther was at her house and Daniel up and off as doing 30+km today - made our 16+km seem a little tame 😂
    However we have now walked 500km 🙌🙌👣👣👣
    We set off very calmly for the 10 km walk to Cajarc where we stopped for lunch. Similar vistas to yesterday but we met our first pig, and some very noisy frogs looking for a mate!!
    The local cycling group seemed to be running an event along the track we were walking on so for an hour or so we played dodge the bike and said hundreds of ‘bonjours’
    Lovely lunch in Cajarc then we set off for final 6 km to our bed for the night. We walked down to the river Lot and came across a crop of riverside restaurants. Esther our hostess from last night was sat having lunch with her dog and was very pleased to see us so we joined her for a coffee and whiled away another hour.
    We have now got to today’s destination- the house of the malicious cats 🐈 and it is indeed full of cats 😆
    It is spacious and airy and we hope for a good nights sleep 🤞
