Day 6 : Back in the mountains

Today we made a good start. The sun was shining and in the village was a bakery, a store, and a post office all close together. We bought nice apricot croissants. There was a nice long descent. I only wished I had put my jacket on, because it was pretty cold. Later we sat down to eat on a bench. The weather seemed to take a turn for the worst, so we put on our water-resistant trousers and warm jackets. There was a flat section of about 40 km where we could put in some kilometers. During the afternoon it was hot. The entire day we were looking forward to a piece of road that our route description listed as: 'ignore barriers and sign indicating dead end, terrible road for one kilometer'. When we finally arrived, it turned out that the road had recently been asphalted into a perfect cycling path, which was a pity.
