17th may
Pierrefitte-Luz
Started day with patisserie and got advice from local mountaineer. So munching croissants we set off along the walk with great views. Got really hot at Luz. Settled down and went for wander but not much open due to another national holiday. Bought cheese from Basque man who was impressed with our Basque. Cheese was fantastic. At patisserie Lawr asked for a platt d'ours but pronounced it plate d'whores, which brought about much laughter.
highs- friendly campsite, cheeseed out, Tourmalet pass open
lows- waist belt rubbing, impending storm, national holiday
note- have gone to cyclist heaven abd have made a mental note that Lawr needs to wax his legs and get white shorts to fit in
