Day 15: Teano to Roccaromana

The morning was a misty, the sun soon came out, it became quite warm (thankfully the shade gave some relief), and the Way (24.63 km) was very pleasant today. I should have ended the stage on the other side of the mountain, but I couldn't get any accommodation at Statigliano. Which was just as well, as I am extremely tired today and will tackle the climb first thing tomorrow morning. I saw a black squirrel running up a tree during the first part of the walk, but was not quick enough to get a shot. However, I was lucky enough to get a photo of a hedgehog this afternoon (my very first). The only restaurant available tonight (Casa Matilde) is quite a walk away (in another village), through small rural lanes, so, as there is a kitchen in this B&B, I'm going to see if I can prepare my own evening meal. The B&B has a copy of Sandy Brown and Nicole Bukaty's VF guide; I've added some images.
P. S. I went to the restaurant and the food was fantastic and the host, and other guests at the tables, were really lovely. Though, a second person told me I don't talk like an Australian!I'm glad I went there, even though I had to walk home in the dark. Also, a shout out to the sun, my clothes dried very quickly in the sun this afternoon.
Addendum: four little dogs came at my on a small country, dirt, lane not long after I had left Teano.Weiterlesen
