Wednesday came all too soon, and I was up, showered and getting stuff packed away before it was properly light. The breakfast lady was late for work, but I was in no rush. After demolishing my generous breakfast I bade my farewells, and after a quick tent pack up, it was on with the bike gear and away. Maybe this is the last time I’ll visit Digne les Bains, who knows, but it certainly didn’t disappoint. One last blast up the D900, then a left turn to Gap and westwards to Le Puy en Velay, pretty much retracing my steps of last week from Aubenas.
I made good time to Le Puy, but found I had to kill time waiting for any of the decent dining places to open, which wasn’t until 7pm. A few beers eased the waiting time. There was quite a chill in the air by now, so it was no surprise to find all the inside dining areas had been pre-booked. Locals were strolling around in their down puffa jackets, whilst my hoodie and shorts didn’t quite cut it. Having to sit outside just meant I’d have to eat fast to prevent the food from getting cold. A talent I don’t excel at.
