Day 5

Tuesday, Sept 24

16km to Moissac

We left Durfort early, well…08:30 is the earliest so far, in the cold and the rain, but we had time to improvise the plastic poncho that we had, to cover both our packs and keep the contents dry. So, I’m also trying to keep my phone dry and functioning so I didn’t take many pictures, not until the clouds eventually dissipated, sort of. The sun even made a few brief appearances, it seemed like mostly at the same time as we had another hill to climb out in the open. But we made it mostly unscathed except for some kinda big blisters. But we’re in Moissac tonight, with many options for buying food (and first-aid) supplies.

Now this is what I find frustrating; add an extra 2km, to climb up a steep muddy hill, walk around the top, and then another steep descent, when there’s a perfectly flat route along the highway.
Maybe they chose the longer, hillier route to see this place. It reminds me of something from the movie “Under The Tuscan Sun”
