Last night we stayed at a farm which specialize in foie gras... Or fatty duck liver. From there we walked 12 km to Arzacq-Arraziguet . We stopped there and decided too look ahead and find our place to stay because accommodations are few and far between. So we made many phone calls and found that all the places along the way were already booked. Finally we called a Gîte in Maslacq, and the lady told us that she was also full, but she would give us her daughters room. :-) So now we had to find a way to get there, and proceeded to call many taxis with our frenglish... We finally got a ride to this town. And our host helped us book our room for tomorrow. :-) she also has a washer and a dryer. Dinner smells delicious..
We now have clean clothes, and its the first time in three weeks that we had access to a dryer!
And dinner...it WAS delicious! We had a salad with Brie cheese wrapped in a puff pastry warm and toasted. Then we had chicken with a cream sauce, and mashed potatoes, and baked apples. Mmmm for desert we had rice pudding with Carmel. Maybe the best dinner yet... :-)
In the town of Pimbo
Duck farm.... :(. Poor ducks. (MJ found another reason for being a vegetarian!). The picture doesn't do it justice... These poor animals were clearly suffering and could barely waddle.
932 km to go woohoo
Location:Rue de la Carrère,Maslacq,France
How did you wear your clothes, if you could't find a dryer for 3 weeks?
