Day 5: Aumont-Aubrac to Nasbinals 26.5 kilometers

We had a tremendous thunder storm during the night and woke to cloudy skies with a chance of rain all day. We quickened our pace and after 20K a light rain began to fall so we took shelter in an old communal oven. It is a stone structure about 15 ft by 20 ft. and they are often in the center of small villages. This one had benches inside which was nice to sit and eat lunch. We finished our walk with just a few sprinkles. 

Gite Centre d'Accueil Nada. Very basic and old. In need of some help, but we are fine here and had plenty of hot water and quiet. No bunk beds. 

Day 4: Le Rouget to Aumont-Aubrac 19.5K

Today was a shorter walk with nice tracks and we passed through a few small villages. The first was only 3K and very good as Ed was able to get an espresso which he didn't get yesterday. We arrived at our destination at 12:30 in time to purchase a few things to eat for lunch before all the shops closed until 2 or 3 in the afternoon. The bar did remain open so more espresso. We went to the tourist office to try and get a reservation 6K further but all was full. We did not book yesterday for tonight which has been our custom so we feel fortunate to have a place for tonight...very nice place with a lovely garden and dinner.

We saw Jule and she has decided to take a train to the Sea so we bid her farewell. And later we saw Peter and Anna from Hungary. The Canadians are staying here....such a small community that moves along.  Dinner was quite an event tonight. It was Tim, the Canadian's, birthday so their group was ready to celebrate and the couple who own the Gite put on a wonderful dinner with many local foods. 

Gite Les Sentiers Fleuris.....very good, clean, no bunk beds, great dinner.
