I survived the night of no blankets by wearing everything I owned. I have decided to book ahead
for the rest of the trip as things are beginning to be full and the private aubergues are much nicer
than the first come first serve public ones which dont provide blankets. This one is gorgeous, The owner took an old run down 500+ year old house and made it into a work of art, that invites relaxation after walking 12 miles in the rain and hail.
Much nicer than the crowded institutional municipal aubergue
One wonderful aspect of this trip is how the scenery keeps changing, but slowely as you walk. Sometimes the scenery is the same for a day or
two but then it slowely changes. A walk is the right pace to see the world.
I’m glad that you are making yourself more comfortable. You earned it. I read your travel blog every morning–you’re 9 hours ahead of me. The big question–what have you learned about yourself through this journey? What will you bring back to your new life? How has it made you a better person or the person that you hope to be.
