Day 34: Bitonto to Bari

Today the Way (24.93 km) has brought me to the Adriatic sea. I can't believe it - I have walked, not only from Rome, but from the Tyrrhenian sea along the coastline at Terracina and Formia to the Adriatic sea! That is amazing to me - who would have believed I would have made it? There were times I didn't. I was in awe when I finally saw the water at a place called Santo Spirito-Catino-San Pio. Even though it was a little misty, and I couldn't see very far out; I was filled with joy. I had been warned by Aya, that the Way would be hard on my feet as it was sealed roads the entire way. She was right, of course, my feet are still tingling hours, and a shower, after getting to Bari. Bari itself is an absolute gem. Certainly, it's a tourist town (of course, I'm staying in the old section where all the tourists congregate), but, that takes nothing away from it's magnificence. I'm so glad I have a rest day here tomorrow.Read more
