l’Estrade to Espalion

We had a lovely stop last night with wine compris and a shot if something very strong after dinner. Was so bad that they dipped sugar cubes into it and then sucked the liquid out of the cube.

Today we drop in elevation to Le Lot river. Again there are numerous ups and downs. We are both suffering but still keep pushing ourselves onward. We stop for a coffee in Saint Come-d’olt, if we had found something open we would have stopped. But alas there was nowhere, and google said it was only 5km to go.

Well that was a lie because after 5km there was still another 4km to go.

We eventually get to le Lot but are soon taken up a massive hill past a statue of the virgin Mary before eventually descending to our destination.

Today is festival day and we can hear the noise from the heights over 1km away. On our final walk along the river we spot a camp ground with cabins and we both decide a rest day is called for.
