Tuesday

Clear blue skies today, although we had to wait until about 9:30until it reached our tent as we were camped in a bit of a gorge. We had an amazing walk up into the medieval town of Comques last night usually brimming with tourists, but going at night was quiet and atmospheric. 

The night was a much better temperature. We got off to a relatively early start leaving at 10 am. It was a long and hilly day, very tiring. We grabbed a coffee in Rodez, then picnicked in a lovely village square for lunch. The climbing seemed to go on and on. Eventually we were rewarded with a glorious descent with stunning views of the Millau bridge, into St Rome du Tarn where we are now camping right next to the river.
