Day 42: Acquapendente to Bolsena

Another great day of walking (26.53 km) through farmland (got wet from irrigation hoses twice - the first I've seen in action in Italy), through a small forest, beside woodland and olive groves. The highlight of the day was my first sight, followed by glimpses of Lake Bolsena, as I left the town of San Lorenzo Nuovo. The lake is magnificent. There was a little rain today, and I had put on the Great Pumpkin again. For the past few days, I have been feeling quite strong (like I could walk anywhere), but today, I surprised myself as I didn't seem to have any energy. I put it down to lack of food, even though I'd had a pretty good breakfast, and got two sandwiches and a can of coke (something I haven't drunk since my daughter told me it had 17 teaspoons of suger in it) and that seemed to do the trick. The cathedral here at Bolsena is for Saint Christina of Bolsena (with Saint George - apparently, it's not ok for women to have a church solely dedicated to them). Her crypt is in the church. There were also some of the best frescoes I have seen.Okumaya devam et
