Day 131/ 132 (17/18 July) - Rochefort is a small garrison town close to the ocean. Actually it lays about 9 miles inland along the river La Charente. Here, navy warships were built and repaired.

Day 104 - 105 (20/21 June 2013) -  We had a nice evening of trying out some local cuisine and chatting with one of the brothers owning the Albergue in the evening.

Unfortunately, Ron does not have such a good night of sleep; around 3:00 in the morning, something he ate together with some possible dehydration is starting to give him trouble.
