Today was the first day of sunny, beautiful weather, and wow what a difference it makes. It was chilly this morning as I crossed the bridge out of Estaing just before 8:00am. The first hour or so followed a closed of road alongside the lot river, before a steep climb up above. The scheduled walk to Golinhac where my reservations are for the night meant that I arrived at the hotel around 11:30am. After a quick salad and a look around, I decided I really didn’t want to sit around all afternoon. Tomorrow was scheduled for a really long stage, so, I found a taxi and walked an additional 8km to Espeyrac, then got picked up and returned to Golinhac. Tomorrow I’ll have the taxi drop me back and that will cut 2+ hours of walking off my day! Everyone says that Conques is amazing, so hopefully I’ll get there around noon for lunch and have the afternoon to explore. Tomorrow is the last full day of walking. This area is beautiful and bucolic, and temperatures today are in the 60s!
