Nogaro ended up being not much of a town, with everything closed and of course temperatures above 90degrees doesn’t make for good exploring. I completely failed at any attempt to locate lunch and ended up grabbing a bag of chips at the Carrefoure and heading back to my room, which was mercifully cool. In the process, I found the local taxi company and after much discussion about how it was not possible to drop me down the road a bit, we eventually arrived at it being possible. Tony the owner was charming. The Gite was a Chambre d’Hote a higher level of service and the owner really put on a nice dinner for me with Duck Confit and veggies etc. The room was palatial. After a quick breakfast, I went down to the taxi place, and on the minute, Tony zoomed up and took me to a little village down the road. A 15 minute ride saved me over 4hrs. Of walking. Today was overcast and cooler so much for pleasant and I still got in just under 3 hours of walking but arrived at my hotel in time to change and catch something to eat at the nearest restaurant. The town is on the river, Adour, and has many old buildings etc. I did a quick circuit and then installed myself on a terrace. Perfect timing as a brief but significant rain storm came through. So, this completes the Camino section for this trip, roughly 200km with about that much remaining to Saint Jean Pied de Port where I plan to end this particular adventure. Tomorrow, I will take the bus to the nearest train station, about 40 minutes and then take 2 TER trains to Bayonne. Bordeaux has the world Rugby thing going on and was very booked up so decided to check out Bayonne, smaller and at the foot of the Pyrenees.
