Day 6 Viterbo to Montefiascone

Last night at the Ostello I met some really interesting people as we all sat around for a pilgrims dinner and talked afterwards. The days walk took a few km to get out of town and I exited the city past a cemetery like you have never seen multi stories and multiple buildings. Thought farmers fields and muddy farm tracks I saw amazing fields of wild flowers. It was beautiful. The photos don’t do it justice. Then I hit the Roman road. It was humbling to think that I was walking on sticks that the Roman slaves had laid. This made for difficult walking though and the up hill began and didn’t stop until I got the la Rocca 450m. A fantastic view of lake Bolsena. I’m staying at a nunnery and went to Vespers all in Italian and the chapel was cold. It was built in 680 AD and has had Benedictine nuns since. I Had a beautiful pilgrim dinner of pasta primo, beef patty with tomato sauce secondo, with fennel and tomatoes. An apple for dessert. A glass of local white wine with it. Only 2 other pilgrims tonight , A woman from Holland and a man from ItalyRead more
