| Bridge over La Garonne |
Took farewell of the hotel and after some crossings found
the riverbank that I was looking for. Or rathe channel bank, since I intended
following “Canal de Midi” (it has various name at different parts) a large
portion of the walking day. And so, I did. It was a very easy and peaceful
walk. Saw a few boats, pleasure boats, one of them in one of the locks of the
channel. Off an on I could see the Garonne the river that flow through here. In
a way, it’s separating north from south. Via Canal de Midi you can get from the
Atlantic to the Mediterranean, if your boat is not too big and you have plenty
of time.

| La Garonne |
But at Pommevic you had to turn left and leave the channel
and walk across the river plains until you after some 4-km crossed La Garonne
on a suspension bridge just before climbing up to Auvillar. A good little city
where I had a fine lunch. However, I wanted to continue. I ended up in Saint-Antoine-de
Pont-d’Arratz, not a very big village but that has a gite where I am sitting
and writing this right now. Expecting dinner at 7. Lousy mobile connection
though. Simply does not work for anything but pure phone.
Este día era un
día confortable. Caminaba lo lejos el Canal de Midi. Vi unos barcos privados. Pasé
La Garonne que es una ribera interesante. Marca la frontera entre el norte u el
sud. Almuerzo en Auvillar. Continuaba después a el pequeño pueblo Sant Antoine
y el albergue la. Encontré una hispanohablante de Valencia.
