Day 2: 10.6 miles. Nothing accomplished today - we ended up exactly where we started - so how come we were so knackered? Well, I suppose we could have found somewhere closer than Farena for lunch. The walk was really tough too, and pretty scary in places. The views though, were outstanding.
A cool stream provided nice respite for some, but none of us stayed dry - the heavens opened just as we moved on. We arrived at the restaurant, El Brugent soaked to the skin, but enjoyed an excellent meal whilst drying out. On the way back, Peter, Rachel and Katharine still had the energy for a detour to some Neolithic cave paintings, but Laura and I kept to the 'main' path.
The plus side of our 'lack of progress' was another lovely evening at the Mas de l'Arlequi. We also got to meet a couple of recent arrivals: the cat was nursing a litter of kittens in the barn, but the German Shepherd kept bringing them back to the farmhouse to play!
