Lauzerte, coming there

Lauzerte, leaving

I got to Moissac already yesterday but late and there was no time to write so I do it "the-day-after."

The day that was, was a rainy day and I had to walk with the poncho large parts of the day. The morning was rather uneventful. Through a hilly landscape and on trails and small roads. But today the trails were muddy. And the mud got stuck on my boots.

Along the roadside

A floppy poncho gives me problem with the GPS where the screen is sensitive and flopping puts the GPS in all types of funny modes. I had to reset it yesterday but could not do it fully. I have to invent something to stop this.

The event of the day was Lauzerte. Beautiful on top of a isolated hill. You had to fight and sweat up. Fine but to me a city in sleep or decay.  There was not much life. First I rested at a a bar to calm down after the climb. Then I was searching for a simpler place to eat but found none but the restaurant at the main square. That was OK. Out was easier.

Sunflowers that was

Eventually I reached the village St-Martin-de-Dufort that gave som possibilities to stay but I wanted to go to Moissac so I had to find som way to do it quicker. That way was to walk along the side of the main road. Happily with not so much traffic. Later the GR65 track came in from the left and I entered Moissac. It took a long time to get through the outskirts. And the I heard that I got a message from home. No warm water. It proved to be one fuse to the hot water tank. The fuse was fixed and I found a place to sleep next to one of the squares. A calm late night with tapas.

Entre Moncuq y Mossiaq era un Día con lluvia. Tuve problemas con el poncho y el GPS. Ellos interferían mucho y este cambiado los reglajes del GPS mucho. Pasé la ciudad Lauzerte. Magnificente en la cumbre de la colina. Pero también una ciudad semi muerte. Mucho barro este día, y también una distancia larga. Por eso andaba el arcén desde St-Martin-de-Dufort hasta Mossiac. Cuando entraba la ciudad recibí un SMS de casa. Problemas con el calentador. Algunas conversaciones telefónicas más, y descubrí que se ha fundido un fusible.
