GR653A Day 5: Vence - Roquefort-les-Pins

A nice quiet day, walking mostly through the woods. After yesterday's adventures, heat and long stretches on asphalt, we were ready for a nice quiet day among the trees!

Also, the wind has changed direction, and after banging about the shutters of our hotel windows during the night, it has freshened the air and eliminated the humidity that was causing us to arrive hot and sweaty every afternoon.


Three pilgrims ready to set off in the morning!

And back up again! 
X 3... that is our typical day! 




Phillipe caught up with us while we were taking a rest and we walked the rest of the way to Roquefort-les-Pins together. Up to where we turned off to go to our room, booked on airbnb!

20 km 600 m total climb


And to end the day, a great dinner reunion with friends! They treated us to dinner at a Thai restaurant, a spectacular meal after several days of picnics and "quello che passa il convento"! I almost felt guilty, like the naughty monks in the fresco at the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore who dined outside the monastery.
