Day 40: San Quirico d'Orcia to Radiocofa

Today was a hard day. The walk was long (34.07 km), the day was very warm (the strong breeze was a God send), there were only three places to rest (two without shade), the Way seemed to have received the least attention of any so far in Italy, sure the waymarkers were everywhere, but some of the paths were so overgrown that making headway was difficult. The icing on the cake was the 300m climb at the end! I met up with the solo French pilgrim (Claire) I saw yesterday, who I will eat a meal with tonight, and another female solo pilgrim from Korea. Both walked faster than me. The highlight of the day was the military band who played in the town centre this afternoon. What a treat!Weiterlesen
