Day 34 14 miles total 442
After the 1st few miles the countryside was definately the foothills of the Pyrenees. Plenty of off road walking.
At one point I took a variant of the route, marked and signposted to the village of Uhart-Mixte. ETA sprayed on a wall and place names put this very much in Basque country.
By lunchtime I was in Ostabat-Esme, where I hoped to camp.
No luck at the 1st two gites. I met Nina at a restaurant, who was despondant that she was booked into a gite but sleeping on a mattress on the outside landing. It sounded ideal to me.
After coffee and a filled baguette along came Mikele and some other French. They'd stopped to look at churches along the way.
I had no luck at other gites along the way. At Larcevau I stopped at an hotel for a beer. It was too early to stealth camp. Donny a french guy turned up, and sharing a room was cheaper than the gites along the way today. Sorted !
