Then I really embarrassed myself! It was a sunny hot morning and I was feeling 'grey' and had a headache as well! Too much wine the night before? I decided I would hitch back to La Palud. The first lift took me to the Point Sublime area again. It was now hotter and I was not feeling too good. I got in a second car, the driver was smoking, his car stank of stale tobacco, the roads were very windy and he drove fast! About 5 km on I had to say to pull over, he did and I threw up into the kerb! So embarressing, I bet he thought typical Brit abroad?
After Le Palud I did a long day hiking to Moustiers, a very touristy but also a very attractive village. My first task was a camp site, the owner let me sleep on a wooden veranda, which was also a covered area as well. It was a palace compared to my tarp. I had the use of a chair, a table, a sink, running water, plus electricity to charge all my stuff.
I then had a good look around the village, very nice, I found an excellent little restaurant tucked away in what I would call an alleyway, run by four young women. They were charming and as I sat and listened to them chatter they were also very sporty, climbing, mountain bikes, road bikes and so on. Certainly an evening to remember. I never did find out if they were staff, or if one or more owned the place?
I then went back to the site to sleep, it was so comfortable and for once a warmish night. Until that night the previous ones had ranged from very cold to just cold.
