5 May 2019 Snow on the Aubrac

 Shingy, I can't wait to tell you today's story.



We walked from Nasbinals via Aubrac to Saint-Chély-d'Aubrac.

For Punda and Mpanzi, it was the first experience (since Kilimanjaro 2004) of walking in freezing weather with some driving snow at times. It was a bit challenging but also a great adventure!  They even made me pose a few times in the snow, and was it cold???!!!!

In Aubrac, we drank hot chocolate and ate a wonderful fruit tart.

Later in the day, it cleared up a bit but stayed very cold. When we arrived in 

Saint-Chély-d'Aubrac it was still only 8 degrees Celsius.

It is snowing lightly again, but we are cosy and warm in a local bar. Tonight we sleep in the Gíte in a dormitory with three other pilgrims. It is relatively cheap, thus will treat ourselves to a nice French dinner in a three-star hotel. Mpanzi will not allow Punda to have foi grass again; she is looking out for him to keep him eating healthy.

Enjoy the pictures, it was great fun talking them.
