At the end of today, we will have covered approx 530 miles at the 1/2 way stage in terms of time, we have climbed approx 35,000 fyi Everest is approx 29,000 ft We have approx 330 miles left to go.
The monastery we stayed at last night was perfect, high on a hill in a perfect setting, quiet, with a fab view, this is view from my bedroom window.
It’s an interesting place, there is a staircase straight out of Harry Potter, you go all the way down and come to a brick wall! There is also a central staircase that just stops, earlier I saw a light come on in the corridor, heard footsteps but didn’t see anyone which was a bit creepy 😳 tonight some strange noises have kept a few people awake 👻 and oddly all around the 4.30/5 am time 😱
On a positive note our meal last night was superb & the cheese board exceptional. At a guess I would say 90% were local cheeses 🧀
This morning our starting temperature was 15 degrees compared with only 7 yesterday, the sun has shone brightly all day, it seems we have gone from a Northern Europe Climate to a Mediterranean Climate in less than 24 hrs.
Mende is a beautiful town and is where we are spending tonight, no room with a view tonight, but I have managed to do some washing which will make sure the suitcase smells a little better when it’s opened.
Mende:- It has an incredible Cathedral and although most people in the group have gone out tonight, I’m having a rest and quiet nite in writing my blog. I bought a picnic ate that in the sunshine and resting my weary body before the next onslaught tomorrow.
So good night – Bonne Nuit 💤😴
