10:15 arrived at Monistrol-d'Allier.

had a coffee break at the local bar.

I thought that French will drink cafe au lait but it seems espresso is the most popular way of drinking coffee.

met Tamare- German girl I met yesterday and Marie, French girl in the forest.

Marie showed me her guidebook. it has better map with altitude. I am going to get one!

14:00 arrived at Saugues.

checked in the gite, only 2 single beds in the room! shared with a French girl.

Took a shower and did bit of laundry.

hope they will dry by tomorrow...

went to a bookshop and got that guidebook~!

as I did not have a chance to have lunch along camino today, had late lunch/early dinner with left over tomato cheese sandwich. + mushroom soup:)

no hail today but many up&down which made me feel that I have walked longer than yesterday.

no wifi but Internet room with their PC.

I felt really tired today so I took a nap and gave a little massage to myself.

went out for a walk a bit, but there were nobody on the street. it's raining and it's a dinner time now.

back to gite and finished wine with dried fruits. fixed my blog on PC.

a girl told me that the gite is already dull in the next destination. I have to walk approx. 30 km tomorrow...
