• Day 27 Avenza to Sarzana

    21. maj 2025, Italien ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    Today was not a good day. I think it started wrong waking in the cellar tired and missing dinner last night. No rain, but all the walking was on roads 90% paved, like yesterday there was a closure/diversion on the river path section and they had no directions to an alternate route. Google maps was my friend today and although it added a few extra kms on I don’t think it was as much as yesterday. When I got into Sarzana I saw some really pretty streets. The Ostello was full and the hotel that I tried to contact last night (because it was cheep) didn’t confirm I had a booing. When I got into town I went straight there. While I was waiting for afternoon opening an older check man also a walker rocked up. He wanted a room but his morning had left saying it was too expensive but had changed his mind. The girl turned up to open reception , so I went in and spoke to her about my unconfirmed booking. It turned out it is my lucky day. She has one room left and she gave it to me.
    After a quick trip to the supermarket to get supplies for tomorrow (a hard stage with nowhere to get food or drink) I’m lying on my bed watching the giro d’italia while I wait for diner time. Restaurants don’t open until 7pm
