Day 4: Cori to Sermoneta

There was some drama last night when I discovered that one of my ear buds was missing. Thankfully, I retraced my steps through the narrow cobblestone lane from the restaurant where I had enjoyed the sausage and truffle pasta and may have eaten rabbit, by mistake (😬), for my main, and there it was on the ground mercifully not run over by a car! I will be a lot more careful with them in future - I need them. Today was all roadside walking (20.93 km, with no earbud use at all), except for the rough stoney path down from Norma and the rough rocky path up to Sermoneta! I met my first VFS pilgrim today, he was backtracking from Sermoneta and expects for us to see each other again on the path. I again walked through olive groves and I saw chickens, turkeys, geese, cattle (and calves), horses (one foal) and even some donkeys! But, my morning was dominated by barking dogs - one burst out of their driveway to chase a car and, thankfully, only barked at me. I've noticed a lot of dog owners don't use leads - I'm not exactly happy with that, as you can imagine. Oh, and I got kicked out of the cathedral when I arrived - the door was open but a local woman told me it was closed! My final blessing for the evening: my apartment has a washing machine, and, yes, I've washed everything!Read more
