GR11 - Day 28 - to Tabascan

We got off to a slow start because this is an easy day. It was cool when we started, but felt closer to 30 degrees Celsius by the time we arrived. We walked on a cushy path by a creek for some time and eventually started climbing to the pass. Again, the grade is gentle so it was easy. The downhill part was a bit hard on me today - not my knees, but my feet. I think the neuromas are coming back. We arrived in Tabascan in 4h30 so we had a lot of time to visit and sit around. Tabascan is your typical small Pyreneean pueblo set in the hill, with houses all made of stone, black slate roofs, windows and balconies of varnished wood, and loaded with red flowers. We stayed at the Casa Filiu, the same one our guidebook recommends. The nice lady wasn't so nice. She managed to rip us off 21 euros.
