Tour of Tours – Lunch Worth Walking For (2nd blog today)

I kept waking, but kept falling back to sleep too. In the morning I showered, washed some clothes and took them to a local launderette. It was cold and it rained, so I felt like an actor. The middle of August in the middle of the day in the middle of France. It’s 15C.

The market was quite an extensive one.

I’d done some research on restaurants and made it to the Brasserie Madeleine before it started to fill up, with a queue down the street throughout lunch time. I got the right place!

I took my time and managed a crème brûlée to finish. All washed down by a jug of water and a carafe of white wine. What a treat. My flight is tomorrow morning and I’m looking forward to seeing The Wife. And getting a new pair of reading glasses. These broke and will only stay on with my sunglasses holding them.

A good walk, taking me closer to Spain, my end point in this John O’Groats to Tarifa trek. I’ve covered 205 miles in 13 days, averaging nearly 16 miles a day. I’m happy with that. I’ll be blogging sometime in January I hope, when I’ll be walking from Blanes to Reus, down the Catalonian coast. Probably with Gazza again. Stay safe.

Night night.
