France August 27 St. Privat d'Allier

Breakfast was at 7:30, which included home-made cheese and jams. It was delightful and a good start to the day. Little did we know that we would need the energy from the hardy breakfast. Mario was very proud of himself having no problems on the first day with way-finding. However, today was a different story, and much to our surprise we ended going NW instead of SW. We followed all the markers, but discovered later that they were the markings for a different trail(GR40). Two people helped us with the directions to find our way back to GR65, Chemin de St. Jacques. We probably ended up traveling an additional 10 km today. Oh well, lesson learned. It would be more helpful to read the guide book in advance, and not when your lost. St. Privat d'Allier is a quaint little town on a hillside – one petite grocery store but four pubs all within one block of each-other.
