I will walk 500km

Done. I arrived in the protection of Condom today. (sadly there’s no local humour about the name of this town) With that I am safely 1/3 of the way through my journey.

Today started with another diversion, after about 1km I was sent off the track and onto a big road. It wasn’t as bad as yesterday though, a major road but not a highway, and there was a somewhat spacious shoulder. However after 2 km the diversion ended and I was back on the way and feeling much happier.

The day was nice after that. Lots of sunflowers, nice Roman towns to stop for coffee and lunch. Lots of countryside. A big fat, so it was tough but my legs are adjusting to the distances.

And my Gîte tonight has a pool so I had my second swim in two days. Awesome.
