After finding out by chance last night about an early morning bus from Limogne to Cahors, I chose to take it. Mostly because I didn't get much sleep last night (hormone related cramps arrived again) and it was impossible to consider walking anywhere. The bus came by just before 8:00 and luckily our hosts were serving breakfast by 7. It was only €7.50 and once I got there it was easy to find my hostel and drop my bag off.
This town is really nice and I am tempted to stay a second night to recuperate. Throughout the day, I visited many of the sites and had tea with a fellow hiker. Later, for lunch I stopped at a place that sold a perfect sized vegetarian pizza that I split into lunch and dinner. Not only that, but since I was feeling particularly lonely today, I did something a bit crazy and asked if I could join a couple at their table. I saw there was just a basket of bread on their table and predicted that they hadn't been served their meal yet and even though I heard some French from them, it sounded as though one of them might be a native English speaker. Turned out to be right on both accounts and we ended up having a really good conversation together. Despite being tired, I did my part in using French half the time.
This lead to a surprise favor, after our pleasant conversation and as they were about to leave, they let me know that I wouldn't have to pay for my pizza. Thank you universe.
