• Day 40: Torre Canne to Torre Santa Sabin

    May 5 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    The Way today was long (31.16 km) and the walking quite warm. Only the last seven kilometers were along the coastline. I crossed the train line twice; once over, on a bridge, and once under. I saw the Dolman of Montabano; also known as "Paladin's slab", which is a bronze age megalithic monument - seriously, it was just there in what appeared to be someone's yard! I learned a bit about the Olive groves - the fruit bearing Olive tree is grafted to a wild Olive tree and each hectare will contain about fifty to sixty trees! This may explain why the trunks are so gnarly. I saw a herd of sheep and goats, with their shepherd and dogs, moving up the road to a new paddock. When I got to the coastline, I would have stripped off and got in, the water looked so good and the little beaches were lovely but, every beach had at least two people on it!Read more
