Day 25 Nogaro to Aire-sur-l'Adour

We decided to be on the road by 0645.

Nogaro was just coming to life.

We were soon back into the countryside, I was feeling a bit sluggish but I soon picked up,

The forecasted rain did not materialise, having said that it had rained last night and the going underfoot was treacherous  at times.

What a beast.

Yet again we did not pass through any villages of significance.

On the Portuguese Camino we walked through endless forests of eucalyptus trees, on this walk it is the mighty Oak.

After 10 miles we stopped for a break .

How not to carry a rucksack, we tried to tell him.

The countryside become flat and if I am honest it was a touch boring, though my legs were relieved.

We walked alongside a railway line for about two miles.

Civilisation  at last and the end was in sight.

We had been walking for 6 hours when we arrived in Arzarq-Arraziguet.

We were guided in by scallops on the pavement.

Dog on a blog.

What a beauty.

We walked over the bridge into l'Adour and found s restaurant and got our boots off.

Sadly due to time constraints we got a taxi to Arzacq-Arraziguet which is 18 miles down the Camino.I felt a bit of a cheat but we have only got 5 days left to cover 6 stages and we have to get our flights on Thursday.

We checked into our hotel did our washing then met  Jean and Jean Michelle, it was so lovely to see them and we have all decided to walk into St Jean together.

Spot the socks.

It was soon time for dinner in our lovely hotel.

What a fine cheeseboard .

We said goodbye to the lads at 2230 and retired to bed.

Today has been a bit easier on me apart from dreadful hay fever sadly the pills and drops are not making any difference.

Stats for today
