Day 38 - Vaylats to Cahors

A mixed night in the convent as we both struggled to get to sleep. Up at 7 for breakfast as a long walk ahead. Frogs remained vocal through the night and into this morning 🐸😂
Today was cooler and a little breezy which was appreciated for a longer walk.
We were on the road soon after 8.15am as over 25km to get through.
The path was pretty kind and flat for most of the day with similar landscapes to recent days - fields and woodlands. We stopped after 10 km for the loo that was engaged and out stepped Mallory a young lady from Brussels we keep bumping into since our initial meeting with Helen and Andy in Montredon.
Our next encounter was with ‘Billy Connolly’ aka Leo from Donegal who walked with us a lot today and is planning his 6th walk to Santiago at the age of 73 🙌🤗
We had a slight fall out over a ‘coffee stop’ at 7km to go. Nearly everyone from the last couple of days had stopped- much to Simon’s horror. Mary desperate for the loo headed that way - it was occupe- so went around the corner to meet an older lady disrobed and doing the drip dry waggle!! She was apologetic but admitted to enjoying ‘peeing’ on the grass!! Takes all sorts. She then came to apologise and shake my hand - wasn’t so sure about this 😆
The descent into Cahors wasn’t fun at the end of a long walk.
We hit a bar for a celebration beer then found our lovely apartment for the evening.
Tomorrow is a kind of rest day as we train hop to the next location to ensure our completion within the brexit 90 days 🙄!!Read more
