Friday June 7th Sunny but not too hot

Conques to Livinhac-le-Haut 23km

5:30 woke up as everybody else are up and start making noise.

6:20 left gite after breakfast

I don't understand why everybody is up so early, but I might as well start walking...

soon Barblin caught up with me and we started walking together. there is an alternative route on camino today Barblin and others were talking about, but I was not really sure where to turn, etc.

So I kind of followed her. She was my guide today. She originally planed to walk a lot everyday, but decided to slow down a bit and stay at the same place as I planned so we took a long break. the alternative route was easy to walk but all paved road. 2 gentlemen from same gite last night caught up with us and walked together a bit. they continued to walk on paved road but we decided to go back to the regular route for the last 2km.

13:30 arrived at Livinhac-le-Haut. Our names were written on the paper but as the gite was not full, we decided to take 3-single bed room.

Went out for panache and wifi at cafe after daily routine.

16:00 shops open, did grocery shopping for dinner. Barblin got a box of winter chocolate.

17:00 cooked salad and rice with tuna & tomato with Barblin. Had dinner with Guy & Gerald.

Barblin offered a chocolate to everybody in the gite:)

we heard the live music from somewhere, so we decided to see what's going on. it was a school party at the school ground. kids playing around and parents drinking beer. nobody is really listening to the music. that's a bit sad, but nice local party.

we went to "the centre" to check my e-mail as I sent some request to a few gite along the camino.

there I met a Korean woman who lives in Paris. she gave us a few tips about gite, and told us about the concert on the church.

it was a local accordion band. reminded me of my childhood. we thought of staying for a bit but end up staying till 22:00. they were nice.

so we are alone in 3- bed room. feel like staying in a hotel:)

we decided to sleep in tomorrow...
