Once clear of the airport it was on to a bus for half an hour to the station, where French bureaucracy struck again. We had bought our train tickets on line and being cautious souls we had got tickets for the 4:19 thinking that as in the GB we could get an earlier train. Oh no, we could go on a later one even as late as the 31st October! but never never an earlier one, not even half an hour earlier as we had hoped.
So we had to wait until our train came in - but once it did it ran with an efficiency which would make a clock maker proud. Ariving at each station at exactly the time it said on the time table. Getting into Le Puy at about Ten to Seven. A total of ten hours travel from when we set out this morning.
We then got a room had a quick explore and a bite to eat which of course included Pue lentils! Because of my accident we have decided to delay walking until Thursday to aid recovery. It's just as well as at the moment we are in the middle of a storm with rain sleeting down.
It's great to get some comments so early on into our trip, and to know that friends are Reading our Blogs. Please keep them coming.

we had no idea about your accident. How awful. Hope you're now fully recovered. Very jealous as I'm back to work tomorrow, however, Wade isn't! Continue to have a lovely time and we'll be following your progress. Love, Birgit and Wade
Oh well it's an ill wind as they say! At least you get a bit of unscheduled R and R - which you probably need after the rush to prepare everything- before the trip begins in earnest. Hope the ankle bears up - George is a strong bear and will no doubt help shoulder your pack!
Hi! Just heard about your accident from June Jones. Really sorry, but hope the rest until today will have helped. I shall be doing intersessions for David on Sunday so you will be in our thoughts and our prayers. Take care and good walking. Pat S.
I need to look up atlas to find out where you are! All books still in store, so I think I need to do this online and then we can imagine you travelling with a bit more understanding. Hope ankle on the mend and you're having fun. Is beaurocracy there for a reason?
Lots of love,

Hi there! Thanks for sending me the links. It all sounds very hairy chested, this walking business. Not content with falling off ledges, you now fall into them?!
Maybe Jeremy could grow a bandit moustache and post updates on its development?
Take care out there and keep away from snakes bearing apples
