Arrival and internet issues

Hi there
Currently in an 'internet' cafe (aka french restaurant where the formule for 4 courses is 11 euros) and the keyboard is even more difficult to manage after several pichets de vin.
However ........ we are having problems posting because we have realised it costs a fortune using the iPhone (c'est la vie!) So, it will be internet cafes and help from home that will maintain this blog.
Hand over to Mo for some real news :-
We have struggled to obtain the credential. I thought that we could obtain it at the Cathedral in Limoges but they were not open until 2.30pm and we needed to go to a friends house near Angouleme where we intended to stay for a few days. The tourist information office in Limoges was particularly unhelpful, saying that we could only apply for it by post and it was now too late if we were beginning our walk next week. However in the local tourist information in Chasseneuil rang the Association of St Jacques in Angouleme and the tourist information office in Angouleme arranged to bring three credentials to Chasseneuil for us. Hence, try the local tourist information, but your French needs to be quite good!
