St Chely to St Come d'Olt

St Chely to St Come d'Olt

Only 16 kms but it took me from 8.30 am till 5.00 pm. The Chemin is never on the flat, it's either steeply up or steeply down. The views were beautiful today, the best ever! We could see for miles.

Dessert of chocolate mousse with pilgrims footprints



The Gite here in St Come is an ancient building owned by 2 pilgrims who have done the entire Camino from Le Puy to Santiago. It is full of the rowdiest group of French that you ever came across. They are exceedingly noisy, having downed several bottles of red before dinner!


Dinner
Pate, courgette soup with mint, boeuf bourgingnon with rice, chocolate mousse.

Today's expenses
Breakfast in St Chely 5€
Beer en route 2.50€
Demi pension at St Come 31€
