Got an early start out of Condom today as once again it was forecast to get quite hot after noon. Fairly easy walking through farm fields and rolling hills. As I checked it turned out that my Gite is a little over 4km from the actual town. This is a little annoying since that is at least an hour of walking. When I arrived I ran into Monsieur, who gave me the usual, “we don’t open until 3:00pm” spiel. At which point I explained that I was aware of that but would like to leave my pack and get town for some lunch. He tried a number of taxi companies, who all declined, and luckily the wife was up for driving me to town. After some chatting she dropped me at the best of the two restaurants in town which resulted in a fabulous lunch, Potage, Pate, some Duck and a side plate of mushrooms finished of with tiramisu dessert. The town of Montreal was a fortified town and is now pretty sleepy with a pleasant town square. I ran into a Canadian, Colleen from Toronto and we shared a drink and chat before she headed of to find her Gite. Now, to get back to the place I’m staying hopefully without the hour walk!
