16th Day: Ste Foy de La Grande - Gabarret

At night, special situations can sometimes arise; after night's rest should set in our room, we had to realize that other people did not agree, for example, the guests in the neighboring rooms. After that was overcome, someone outside on the street obviously started a long-distance call without a phone; well, I didn't really notice, men can just sequentially switch off their hearing, but Angelika apparently had an increasing pulse. I woke up just in time when she opened blinds, loudly whistled and shouted 'Shout up your mouth' - a call that really didn't miss its effect.

At night, a thunderstorm with heavy rain passed over us.

After breakfast at the hotel overlooking the courtyard, we set off again, and the terrain became hilly again.

A condition that wouldn't change until we were beyond Marmande, but until then - phew.

Gorgeous vineyards, the harvest is currently in full swing, livestock farming or cereal or vegetable cultivation in the valleys.

In between, there's always a dacha, which would be enough for me for now:

After Casteljaloux, we enter the forest. We couldn't determine if there are any robbers there, but we do know that the forest is large, as we will be in it for the next 25 km. Many areas are currently being reforested or newly planted. In general, there are a lot of timber transports in the area.

At some point, we turned left and boom, after another 9 km we came out of the forest to Gabarret, where we had rented a private room. The landlady didn't speak a word of English or German, but thanks to Google, we could communicate. And the red wine she served us tasted fantastic.
