2017-09-18 Espalion - Golinhac (28/198 km)

UNESCO World Heritage symbol
Another rainy day. I was probably the last one coning for breakfast in the kitchen. But I got it anyway. Easy to walk trough the streets by following the UNESCO World Heritage symbols pegged on the asphalt.
Lot valley in rain clouds

Walked along the river and then up into the hills again. Another 300 - 400 m up. Rain an clouds.

Typical small village with stone houses
Estaign
 Passing several small villages and came down to the river again . And there on the other side, it was, Estaing. Looked like fine place to visit some day. But today onward on the roadside along the riverbank again. More rain all the time. Then up, up and up through more slippery stony tracks. Passed a number of tired elderly people most ladies that was standing to gather power before climbing the next track. And again more of the high landscape again until I reached Golinhac, not a very big place but important as a stop for pilgrims. Ended up at a camping site wet and cold. Got my own room in a small cabin and did the normal routines that today included washing. Thought that I'd be alone until a French-Spanish couple came.

 Un día frio con lluvia. Llluvia, lluvia todo el día. Escalé los escarpados dos veces. Pasaba Espalion pero continué hasta Goilnhac un pueblo no muy grande. Vivo en una cabina de camping juntos a una pareja francés-español. Una oportunidad de hablar alguno castellano.
