Arriving in Sauges, we approached with our new Kiwi friends and snapped a few pictures for each other in front of these strange and wonderful wood carvings. The city itself was mostly closed down for their version of a siesta so we walked through looking for our lodging for the night. Other than the hotels we had in Lyon and Le Puy, we are not making reservations ahead of time. Whether this is more because we want to walk freely or if it is simply too difficult for us to call ahead to make our next reservation, I do not know. Regardless, the Camino provides. We ended up at a gîte near the church and ancient English watchtower in Sauges that doesn’t even appear on our maps. It is also a crêperie and our room sits on the top floor of the building. While the smoke from the restaurant below is hardly pleasant, we have the room to ourselves (though it sleeps up to four) and I even got a nap in before dinner. It is just before 10pm as I write this now and I am very thankful to have a good 9 hours left to sleep before breakfast tomorrow morning.
