A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.
At little village called Bains. I took the photo because of the house, modernised somewhat but notice the remnants of turrets at the top right corner of the house and the buttress type widening at the bottom right corner.
I'd stopped here to buy something at the bakers, and also to ask if I could use the toilet, but I was told there was a previous one, two toilets available one was hideous and the other merely nasty.
One of the characteristics of this route was that I was on a highish plateau and when I looked to the east I could see the mountains that two years ago I'd cycled through and this year I was avoiding.
