We left Fonteilles just after 9am and headed for Golinhac to pick up lunch at the shop, which had shut 10 minutes before we arrived.
Oh well we thought lets go on to Eysperac where we will get a meal in a cafe. So we plodded on, when we arrived we went to the only bar/hotel only to be told they had no food. We ordered oranginas while we had a think, in the bar was a machine selling nuts, we decided anything was better than nothing so I went to get some. As I was fighting the machine, a voice behind me said you have no food? I have a little bit of bread and some cheese would you like it? It was a very nice German Swiss lady who had heard our discussion and came to our rescue, a pair of French ladies then offered us a huge tomato and with the nuts there was plenty to eat.
As we ate we chatted to this Swiss angel of mercy who was staying at the same Gite as us this evening, and we agreed to see each other then.
We eventually arrived at Senergues and had relaxing evening where for once German was the majority language.
These German speakers are tough cookies as we met an Austrian who had started out from his home and another German Swiss lady who had started from hers.
