I had a restorative night in Navarrenx. I was hesitant to leave this morning. I would have liked to linger and have coffee but I couldn’t stay all day so I got on my way.
Lovely walking this morning, the air was cool and the Pyrenees are now a constant part of the scenery. There’s still corn, but the looking mountains are much nicer to focus on. They represent a big transition in my journey, once I cross them I’ll be in Spain and that feels like a new adventure.
I passed a little river this afternoon so I jumped in for a swim. Ive been hoping to find a nice swimming spot along the way and I’m happy to have found one before I leave France. The water was very cold, I would guess 12-14 degrees, much colder than Manly at the moment. a lovely way to cool off from the afternoon heat.
I’m now in Aroue where I’ll spend the night. I’ll sit and have a drink as I look out at those big mountains.
