Cajarc to Limogne-en-Quercy, 18km,10/04/22

Hotel Peyrade finally let us in at almost 3:00pm yesterday. Particularly annoying since they are a family hotel and on the premises anyway. Many people waiting. Nice big room, sterile, but functional. Managed to find a local massage therapist and get a nice massage. She was pretty sharp and picked up on a few things, 18 years experience. Not much going on in the town, hotel came up with a decent dinner of Tuna Steak. Shared table with Manfred and Thomas, two Germans who have been hiking various camino sections for years. They are scheduled to be at the same Gite that I am tonight. Nice walk today, Gite, unfortunately is way far from the town. Arrived around 1:00pm, madame informed me that there was nothing to eat and nothing near, and by the way if you walk to town the restaurants will be closed because it is after 2:00pm. Grocery store of course doesn’t open till 3:00pm. I was then treated to a lecture about how unreasonable it would be to expect a restaurant to serve food after 2:00pm, this is not Paris! She does apparently plan to serve dinner. Decided to walk to town, since there was nothing doing at the gite. After much searching found a lovely outdoor cafe where the owner told me to go get some charcuterie and she would provide the wine. So far that is working, but now I have to get the 2.5km back to the gite, will try for a taxi or a ride from someone.
