A quite day in Domaine Du Malcor near GAP

The sun was awoke this morning and breakfast has been planned for 09.45, so not to early and not to late, the reason for the latish breakfast is that yesterday was although nice was a bit of hard work with the hills and some mountain stuff.

The male host arrived with a nice wicker basket containing a baguette and two large croissants, yogurt, jams, orange juice and tea and all topped by the British flag protruding through the top of the basket. So we had a nice breakfast and then spent the next hour or so planning what we will do next, some of the next few routes are mountainous and we also have to watch out for bad weather but anyway we came up with a plan than allowed a lot of flexibility. Any Hotel or Gite you book now at this late stage for Wednesday night require immediate payment and just in case we get stuck on the route we have decided to leave it until the day when we will book whatever suits our location. There appears to be plenty of accommodation available.
We also needed to do some food shopping and the host had informed us of an Intermarche in town, initially we had trouble finding it using the car Sat Nav (which now is five years out of date) and had to switch to the Garmin and subsequently found the new store in a very new area about two miles outside of town. With purchases of salmon and prawns and some salad stuff we headed back to chalet and Jennifer did some reading and Noel got almost up to date with the BLOG and also photos from the past week. The Internet is fine but for uploading its, very, very slow but we did succeed in getting all the latest photos online.
In the late afternoon we both went for a swim and all the other four chalets are now empty as there had been a company taking over four chalets for a weekend meeting. In the evening we had the salmon within a salad and finished of some raspberries before watching a new series, well new to us, on Netflix called Criminal which we have to say was very good and a very different type of police crime drama.
We had originally planned to only stay two nights here but its so nice we have extended it to three nights and will cut down on the cumber of mountain routes we do to compensate and leaving time for us to have a little extra time elsewhere.
And so to bed
