Well, a ride did not materialize to get me home from the town, so I hoofed it back to the Gite, about 4km/ 1hr. Lunch was worth it though. On return, a group of French ladies from Paris had checked in, 8 of them and another American from New Mexico. We were 14 at dinner and the Gite people put on a nice dinner on their outside terrace. My room was huge and had a shower and sink, but oddly the toilet was a long way down the hall. Anyway, ok nights sleep and up just before 7:00am to hit the road before the heat. I suspect that Walk the Camino miscalculated my distances based on the idea that the Gite was in town not 4km before the town. This made today insanely long. Temperatures started out reasonably, but by noon were into the high 80s. When carrying a heavy pack, this makes a big difference. As usual in France and on a Sunday not much in the way of places to stop and eat or get refreshment. There was one Gite that had a self service area, Mille Bornes and it was a life saver. Other than that, the trail today followed a Voie Verte, these are decommissioned railway lines that have been turned into bicycle and walking trails. It makes for easy walking, but lots of pavement.
