Day 17: June 20: Condom >> Eauze (34 km)

TODAYS PICS:

Today was a lovely day for a walk. Waking early in Condom (sorry couldnt resist), I had a lovely buffet breakfast at the hotel - one of the highlights of hotel visits - including fresh warm croissants, fruit, cereal, yogurt and more. Often at Gites, its yesterday's bagette, some jam and a coffee and juice.

The path today was wonderful, including a nice forest path to get out of the city. With less rain, there were only a few muddy bits - easy to get around and generally pleasant walking. As such, I chose to do another long day - 20 miles.

The last seven km were along a old railway making them flat, shady and a bit boring.

I met some women from South Africa and a pair of young men, one from Holland and one from Germany. There are not many young people here, so it is nice to see them.

I mainly walked alone and enjoyed the scenery and meditation. At night we shared a pilgrims meal and had a lively discussion of god and things - an interesting feat in three languages.

Bon Nuit
