Day 32 (and 33) : Goulier to Siguer

As mentioned in the last post, we were not feeling well at the start of this day, and the weather report was for afternoon thunder storms - so we were taking a short day to Siguer, about 4 hours hike away. The hike was pleasant and short after some strong wind took out some nearby branches from the trees around us. In Siguer, the city has built a free room for hikers with 2 triple stacked bunk beds and a bathroom (shower included). We napped off our upset stomachs there and bought bread from the nearby gite. At the gite, I explained that we were staying in the municiple shelter and the couple who run the gite (GR10 showed me where medicine and a phone was in case we felt worse later. They came around later in the afternoon to clean the bathroom and asked us to bring a sign written in English to a cabane we would pass on our way out of town (the owners stock the nearby huts with food and drinks for hikers). The couple who run the gite were so nice and helpful, we wondered why we were not staying there?... So we packed up our stuff and rented a room from them for the night, (for only 10£ a night) and we were glad that we did - a much more confortable place to stay with loads of food, gas, and supplies for sale (cheap). Charming and cozy - by far the best gite we have found so far. We liked it so much we decided to take an extra day off here and relax while another day of clouds and rain pass. le petite gite.
