• Day 8 Rest day Bolsena

    May 2, 2025 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    A bit of a lazy day today as it’s a scheduled test day. My body is feeling good only one small blister ( managed ) but I need to recoup my energy levels. after doing my washing I walked to the lake front and had a cappuccino and pastry for breakfast. Then I went shopping for some electrolytes for the hot days ( which are most days). I then went and looked through the Basilica of Santa Christina who is still lying there for all to see. Sorry no photos allowed.
    Pizza for dinner and a spare for tomorrow’s walk.
    The rest of the day is here writing this and talking to Jim.
    Bolsena in 1263 is known when during a Mass in the Basilica of Santa Cristina, the consecrated host (Christina) began to bleed, an event that strengthened the faith of the doubting priest.I’m off to Aquapendente tomorrow so I’ll see you there.
