I was sad this day as it was to be our last day walking the GR10, descending the vertical kilometer gained yesterday, through scenery becoming more rugged and impressive as the Basque country was left behind, and turning off north to Bedous and the SNCF bus home. Unfortunately, walking from Lescun to Bedous involved an unpleasant, flat stretch along the main road to Oloron-Ste-Marie. The journey home, not as simple as the journey out, did not have the feeling of adventure any more - that will have to wait until I can reverse it to continue walking the GR10, eventually to the Mediterranean sea.
Oh, and we never did get any more Camping Gaz.
