When did you last hitch a ride?

Day 35 Monday 31st May
Seix / St Girons / St Lizier
This time my bus arrangements worked better. Checked out of one hotel,
delivered my rucksack to the next and at the busstop with others in
good time for the bus - scheduled for 9:25 but apparently could come
up to 15 mins either side of that. A pleasant half hour ride and I was
in St Girons. Having checked in at the tourist office I thought I'd
take the 2km walk to St Lizier and have a picnic there then get a
coffee or a beer. Ha ha. It's Monday and it is only May. More fool me
to expect anything to be open!
Still, I had a sandwich with me and it is a really pretty village so I
wasn't disappointed. It's known for it's cathedral and bishops palace
- both currently undergoing restoration so not open to visitors. Oh
well!
I trundled back to St Girons to fill the time til Ben arrives. And
while doing so and making the most of the sightseeing opportunities I
failed to see that the tiny kerb on the bridge had suddenly become a
big one, and off I fell causing lots if consternation. No real harm
done - just another bruise to add to the collection.
When Ben arrives we have to decide whether to take the tourist office
advice and thumb a lift back to Seix or get a taxi. I'm not at all
sure I'm up for flagging down a vehicle and asking for "Seix" and I'm
even less keen to encourage my son to do so. I think it might be a taxi.
