8th Sept. St Antoine

Day 19.   17.2miles   total 274.9

A day of mostly paved walking. The 1st 8miles I was aching and tired, I reached the 1st bar, had a coffee and felt a new man - I'd bought decaffinated coffee yesterday.  I bought some proper coffee and binned the decaffinated.
The 1st 10 or so miles was on a canal path, nicely shaded by Plane trees. Then it was across country to the mighty river Garonne and uphill to Auvillar.
The lads have changed as Francois had to go home for a week, and Tarp-man, Mikele, is with us each evening now. I caught up with them in Auvillar and arranged to meet them to camp in St Antoine, at a Gite de Etape.
The Gite de Etapes are like hostels, dormitories and kitchen facilities, great for camping.
