We are in Chateauvillain. What an adventure! The VF is much different from the camino’s we did. Less pilgrims, since my last post we’ve met 1 pilgrim.
The everyday planning takes more time. Because we want to walk about 20 km a day we have to divert sometimes from the route to get an accommodation. That was never a problem. The accommodations we booked vary a lot: from supersimple to luxury.
And we have to plan our food. There isn’t every day a restaurant or a supermarket on our way. But when we are in a restaurant we appreciate it even more.
We have had terrible weather in the beginning after Calais. The path was flooded and very muddy at some parts. I only fell in the mud once! But after that we had manu sunny days with a few raindrops. Today should be sunny.
The plan is to go to Lausanne and than go home and to return september to continue the VF.
