Day 6 Navarrrenx- Aroue 18.5klms




I prepare my breakfast of ham and eggs and share it with the German Axel, who is most grateful for its fortifying effect. The others depart into the village where our baker host provides them with coffee, croissants, other pastries and bread.

A beautiful sight greats us as we depart. On the left, the valley is shrouded in low lying mist and this spectacle is witnessed on the following morning as well.

Throughout the day we pass beautiful pastoral scenes, grassy pastures and animals grazing. Lunch is as always a time to find much needed shade, as the heat intensifies and water supplies are drained. Usually, a shady meadow or bend in the road and I encourage fellow travellers to stretch.

I am experiencing much pain in my feet from the hard roads we have been walking on. Again, I am delighted by the fact that all food is shared amongst the group and my apetite seems to be returning to normal.

Smile meter is 7/10
