gruissan departing( no energie) new day begin, took me forever to get up, just wanted to stay there and do nothing. But at 12pm I finally left. I followed the cyclism road 4 a wild but it disappear I was back on the road.and at a T I made the wrong choice that village was a dead end... well it was goin the other way where I came from but no bridge to carry on the other side. A little 10 km lost. Add to come back till bezier and took the d612 to go in the direction of sete but like I was in a good day...once I reched adge, no bike allowed on the d612 anymore. I just add enough, made my way to cap d adge. But here we go again. No dam straight way so took me another 45 minute to reach and once there needed to find a place to sleep. Didnt wanna pay that night so did run in circle to find a spot, not the best but was ok. Just couldnt carry on. Scenic today was not great only thing is I saw my first “flammant rose”those pink bird. Like yesterday I woke up with no energie. I had to get up at 11am since I coulnt wait anymore to pee. I decided to do a tent day. Weather was grey and sometime rainy so tought was the day for it.i had just enough water, bit more would have been better but was ok. I stayed in my pine tree forest and listen to music. Made me 2 nice meal, put some patche on my bag and watched a movie “the pathfinder” was alright. Today was my first where I mist the comfort of a house, I would have gladly watched another movie with some chips( crisp) and a beer of a bottle of coke. But no more battery and no beer. I really didnt thing to mss that kind of thing. But I did. O and this morning I had some visit, 3 little red squirrel. I got my head out and they looked at me. On got closer I took a picture or 2 and they went off. Yesterday was tent day. Today, I woke up at 7h30 with the song of water on my tent. Got back to sleep with the hope that it stop. 11Am still rainning. Im out of water, got some from the rain but aint clean, good for dishes. I went in town, 15 minute walk, left the bike near the tent, looked like im there. But 3 litter of water, 1.5 of coke and 2 of juce + some food. Came back at 2 pm still raining .started to eat and that when I got some more vistit. This time was a dog. He was yelped at my tent . I looked by my small window and saw it was a big black dog with no master. Humm what to do.. I continued eating but he was coming closer. Put my shoes on and went outside. He stopped to yelp and came closer. I stood there watching him, he came really close to me looked in my tent, I gave him some water and he went off. Abit later, I got out of the tent and when I opened the zip, I saw is face just there, I got scared, but seemed happy to see me, he was trying to come in. told him to wait and got out with some salami. He sat. wow well dress, gave him the meat and we became friend for a little wild. He was wondering around and always coming back. Strangely, last time he game, I felt like he was telling me thank you im leaving for good now and he did. He made my day. Rain stopped at 5pm to late to leave. Just had to sleep another night. 1 word rain and cold. One more day stuck.
