23rd Sept - The clouds broke and the sun shone through.

A good day to walk down to the Grotto, do some shopping and walk out of town to the Pic du Jer,s
After a baguette lunch we headed off.  The part of Lourdes not focused on the religious life is a nice place with lots of shops, bars and people having their lunch.
We soon left this behind us as the Pic came into view.  With its 50 degree inclination and a one kilometre reach into the sky, it made a formidable sight.


View of Lourdes from the top of the Pic - 900mt elevation via Funiculaire.

On the way down the  view of this peak became clear.


Huge crowd tonight with the dry conditions.our estimate 20,000
