I left Golinhac about 9.00 am, feeling very free and easy with only a short day of 7.5 kms to do. I wandered along, taking lots of photos and stopping to see the views. There was a lady of my age pottering along at my speed. Only later did I discover that she was South African and doing the Chemin in a very complicated manner: she had a hire car and camping gear, and typically would walk in the mornings and then catch a bus back to where she had left the car. The poor weather, rain and cold, had spoiled her camping idea for 5 nights so far.
There were several sprinkles of rain this morning but nothing came of it. I arrived at the Hotel de Vallee in Espeyrac at around 12.30, ordered a beer and ate some bread and avocado for lunch. This hotel doesn't compare with last night's - the room is small with no ambience and no view, except of the village shop across the street!

Public toilet: one of a few along the way. Why doesn't Spain have these?

This calf really wanted some milk and tried to persuade Mum to get up and release the supply!
