Le Coupe to Arblade Le Haut - 29 kilometers

We hit it at 8:00 am and arrived at 4:00 pm. Tough out there today.  We took a 30 minute break somewhere in the middle.

We did get our chocolate croissant fix to start the day, and a plain croissant, and our coffee and tea.

The first town we walked through this morning - Eauze.  Nice town but we didn't stay long, we still had 25 kilometers to go.

The church walls were a combo of building stones from roman building and bricks

Back at it

We got our first glimpse of the Pyrénées. They will be getting closer and closer. 

Overcast but not raining, trail was still muddy in sections

Break time, crackers and trail mix

Walking and walking

Eclipse Sainte Christie

We crossed the greenwich meridian 

And finally after 29 kilometers, 17-18 miles, our stopping point

A welcome sight

Has palm trees too

After nice hot baths we got the laundry done - 3 euros

Today we saw the other 5 people who stayed at the same place with us 2 nights ago.   One couple is staying at this place tonight.  Small world on the trail.

Dinner - 18 travelers staying here and we were at one big table

Dinner - aperitif, wine, soup, pork stew with rice

Dessert - individual apple custard with local brandy - Armagnac - quite good

  1. Hope you are both well and enjoying your walk. I can't believe how far you have already walked.!! Food still looks delicious and I bet the wine is very good. Weather is changing here and nights are darkening quickly. Keep on trekking and enjoy.
