Day 9 St Antoine- Lectore 8th Aug 24.8klms

Fatigue is setting in, which I think is the result of the French breakfast is is not fortifying for a long days march. Could be that i need more hydration too?

Weather is changing as we head to the Armagnac country in the South West- a bit colder today. We make it to Lectore and say good bye to Jean Luc who returns to Dax near Biarritz/Bayonne, but not before I find a hotel named `Le Bastard` and wonder if the translation is the same? Odd name for a hotel just the same.

On the road we meet regulars Marie Claire nad Jaycinth. Marie Claire is always singing like a little girl and they both have great voices, which motivates when on a long hike.
