2017-09-23 Vaylats - Cahors (28/373 km)

No nuns at the breakfast. One of the responsible, the male one, followed me out and showed me the way. But I misunderstood him and walked too far and actually thought that I had taken the wrong road. So I turned back. Only to be met a little later by the same man guiding another pilgrim. Now shouting and gesticulating. I had taken the correct road but should have turned at a place advertising jurtas as an alternative mean to sleep. Yes jurtas, I saw them a bit later. They have alternatives here convent or jurtas.

Then a rather uneventful day, but warm and without villages to eat in. Happily I had my own food from yesterday.

I walked and I walked and got rather tired. After a number of hours I followed a long ridge and then suddenly beneath my feet there it was, the classical city of Cahors surrounded on 3 sides of the river Lot.

Over the Lot bridge - before the attack by the ladies

A bit later I passed over the Lot bridge. But immediately after the bridge I was attacked by a team in a small hut that wanted to interview me and inform me about Cahors. I was tired and warm and didn't speak very much French. What a disappointment for them. I walked up
 the city, visited the cathedral and a bit later found the recommended pilgrim hotel that I had heard about. Locked for yet another 2 hours. So went to drink a little bought in a shop and the sat waiting for another hour. I was tired. The hotel oped and I got a room and could wash my things and rest some more. Very tired today for some reason. Walked round the city for a while ate a pizza and returned to write this. End of day.

En la madrugada un hombre del convento me guio cuando irse el buen camino. Pero creía un poco después que había interpretado mal y volví. Otra vez vi el hombre gritando, ¡vuelve, vuelve! Y volví otra vez y encontraba el camino correcto que pasaban algunas yurtas. Convento y yurtas, este pueblo tiene recursos. En la tarde después muchas horas llegué a Cahors. Fatigado dependiente el caliente.
