    Day 39 ... 9 October 24

    October 6, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    Day 1 of my Viterbo to Vetralla of my Via Francigena , was positively excellent.
    However after my "3 Orange" service initially cut out, my plans changed.
    I should say my 3 Orange service was updated only a few days ago.
    There was GigaByte's of data left, being unaware there was no GPS.
    Moving on, I found many Italians wanting to help. (See 8th photo). It was resolved. A taxi took me back into beautiful Viterbo. 3 Orange updated my service ☝️. Problem 1 solved, but all this took time.
    So this 88YO executed Plan 2.
    Yes I succumbed to the luxury of taking the Bus all the way to Vetralla. Relaxed me ... and I'm not ruling Bus services out (one of the huge benifits is that you do get to enjoy these Etruscan villages and Italian friendships,).
    Pencil Plans are to walk 17+ Ks to
    Capranica Tomorrow☝️
    I will comment on some of these photos. Point being I was helped many times by English speaking Italians and I am genuinely grateful. 9th photo is an Italian gentleman who gave me a Bus Ticket to Vetralla!!!
    In the photos that follow are a few of these Italian good sumerians. Yes Lucky me.
    PS last photo is one of Magic's boy friend in Italy
