Day 5
A lazy Saturday in La Giraudiere consisted of a grasse matinée (a sleep in) which was badly needed and a sociable afternoon of board games.
Some of us went on a randonné on Saturday in a town nearby. It consisted of a 12km hike up and down the rolling hills of the French countryside. After a few kilometres there would be a course. So on registering and paying for the soirée we got our Apéritif which consisted of orange or rosé and peanuts. We then set out on our walk not knowing how far away the next course was. We trekked through lots of different types of terrain, the woods, the fields, rocky and grassy paths. By the time we reached our starter we had well deserved it ! Tuna salad of some sort and melon, which completely revived us. Then we set out walking through a forest and some vineyards and again by the type we had climbed the huge steep hill to the main course we were hungry again. A fabulous plate of hand cut real chips and marinated tenderised pork, c'était merveilleux !
In the end after about an hour of walking from the main course to the frommage we realised we were back at the beginning and we had walked all 12km ! Woohoo ! Some frommage délicieuse and fruit salad was amazing and completely refreshing and satisfying after our trip!
I found myself absolutely wrecked after it and I still am !
The sunshine shall revive me hopefully !
À demain,
