Mileometer
November 18th, 2004
Just a quick note as we are still in Cognac despite having planned to leave today – let’s just say that the tour was very, very good. All six of them.
After doing a quick bit of tallying up on our old maps, we discovered today that we have actually walked over 900 kilometres. Thats over 500 miles. If anyone wants a comparison, it is further than Melbourne to Sydney. I am so chuffed by this unimportant piece of trivia that I plan to go and do another tour to celebrate.
By the way, did you know that Hennessey House of Cognac sells a specially cut Baccharat crystal decanter of their top drop for a mere snip at 3000 euros? Obviously we ordered several. I could tell you lots of other interesting facts about Cognac now, but I find they go awfully fuzzy in my mind for some reason, particularly after the tasting session, so I think I had better return and do another one just to make sure I really have learned all I can.
A bientot.

Greetings to both of you in particular to Gary who is suffering like all husbands in the world. Good to hear that the sleeping bag war is over. I am glad that you are making nice progress. I have been told that in Spain there are these days still plenty of pilgrims and that enough accommodation is available. The Ibañeta pass over the Pyrenees (between St.Jean Pied de Port (F) and Roncevalles (E)) had already snow last November 12. But pilgrims are crossing all right although they say it is tiresome. I wish you good luck. We will continue following you; keep on going Santiago is at a walking distance.
