VIA FRANCIGENA | Day 5

Auchy-Au-Bois to Bruay-Le-Buissière, 19.1 km

One minute update

 

Full episode

 

Today I took out cash, and waited half an hour for the mini-market owner to come back from lunch. Belly full, stocked up with supplies I set up the trolley to dry my clothes and headed back on the country roads.

 

 

Not an open church insight or a working water fountain but plenty of farm life. I came across a night’s templar theme hotel ideal to cut the day short, but it was fully booked. Made a wrong turn and came across a windmill farm, definitely the highlight of the day.

A hot tub at the hotel was a close second thanks of course to my mom’s donation. A boutique hotel full of surprises.

​

Finally got rid of the UK power adapter.
