Day 38: Thursday 23rd June
Spoke to the troops this morning - someone seemed to want "happy birthday" sung to her, and sounded extremely jolly at the prospect of a short day's walk, all downhill.
Was wandering along with two balloons tied to her rucksack!!
They hope to make it to Planes by early afternoon, and planning to take the rest of the day off - hopefully muttering something about cold beers and a good hot supper. Good luck with that one - fingers crossed!
later.......(from text recieved 9pm this evening.....)
Lovely day was had by all apparently - easy walking, with a good long lunch stop complete with champagne, pate toasts, confit of duck, and lots of fromage!
(sounds better than my boiled egg!!!)
Tonight they're staying in an eco lodge where they "scored" a posh room for peanuts due to over booking. Result!
Expecting an early start tomorrow as they head back into the high stuff. (I should think so too - what DO they think they're on - a holiday!!??)
More remote camping coming up, and hoping to climb Canigou on Monday. Watch this space.
