Day 19: Fidenza to Fornovo di Taro

I was up, breakfasted, and out before 7:30, leaving Fidenza through the lovely tree lined streets. I left early because I had a long way to go. Mercifully, there was a lot less road walking today. I seem to have passed through the even, shall I say flat, lands for now. Todays walk (35.23 km) was up and down and round about and included some woodland walking - just the way I like it. I didn't get to Fornovo until about 5:30 (so ten hours of walking) only to discover I had another 5 km to go to my accommodation. Luckily, a local political, canvassing for votes in the square outside the church, was able to direct me to the pilgrim accommodation who I had WhatsApped last night and said they had a place! There are four pilgrims here tonight; a Korean (who does the Camino Santiago every 2 years - he says the VF is a warm up for his Camino this year; from Saville), a French woman, and the French pilgrim, male, I met a few days earlier.Read more
