July 24th A bothy 3 hours after Etsaut

With a better weather forcast for France, I decided to go back to where I had finished on Monday - Etsaut.
It was great being in Jaca as I bought cheap fuel that comes in a nice pouring bottle, and a very nice sun hat.
Civilised, cheap Spain tempts me to walk the GR11 again. A €2 bus ride took me to Estacion Canfranc where I had a 2 hour wait for the bus to Etsaut, in a bar getting my phone charged and watching Le Tour de France.
After reaching Etsaut I had a hot walk along roads and tracks to the Chemin de Mature, a scary walk along a path hewn out of cliff. I did not look down.
At the end of it the path entered trees always ascending.
After 4 hours hot walking I found an bothy which was perfect for the night.
  I had the place to myself fot the night. A clean firm mattress gave me the comfiest nights sleep I've had for years.
