Dampierre-sur-Salon to Gézier-et-Fontenelay, 33.8 km

One minute update

Full episode

Coldest morning so far at around 60 degrees with a 34 km walk ahead. So tempted to try the forbidden fruit so abundant in the region I missed my turn and had to backtrack a block.

Said hi to the locals as they rush past me. Came across more statues and war memorials than in days past.

I book a room thanks to April’s donation and hydrated by a cross.

Farm girls are a bit shy, but they mean well. A quick dip in the most amazing of water fountains and a banana later and I was feeling strong.

Had a little fun at a bus stop to liven up the day. I followed a seemingly endless stockpile of firewood on my way out of town.
