2017-04-19 Le Pin - La-Côte-St-André (34/256 km)

The day started with a breakfast at the otherwise empty hotel. Then we were driven up to the crossing in Le Pin again and the walk of the day together with the two Germans started. A rather uneventful walk through a pastoral countryside with meadows, cattle and fields. Lots of small villages. Some fine views. Some bad hiss with stony paths up or down. (Don't forget stable shoes if you intend to walk this way!)

The markings and road signs varies bur are usually good. Here in the province of Isere the are often of a bit simpler variety - but sufficient.

Lunch was planned for "Le Grand Lemps" but most of its places were closed. However we found an open bar at the dug-up square and took a coffee.

Onward through many and long villages along the side of a stretched out hill. A big plain below with among other things the airport of Grenoble. Really a bit away from that city. But usually there were farms and farmland.

Finally we reached "La-Côte-St-André". Went in through arcs and a bit market hall without wall, only roof. Spoke to various people regardig where to sleep and found the worn down hotel just opposite the post office.

I had a lot of job waiting for me but first I went out to eat a little at a Vietnamese restaurant of the simpler variety. A chilly and windy day in spite of the sunshine. Thoughts about the journey home. Probably Lyon but no decision.

Volvíamos a la cruz de La Pin en la madruga. Pasamos “Le Grand Lemps” y un numero de pueblos casi siempre pequeños. Al fin llegamos a La-Côte-St-André” donde dormimos.
