Day 41: Torre Santa Sabina to Brindisi

The Way today was very long (36.08 km). The blessings today were the reduction in temperature, there had been a little rain overnight and the day was mainly overcast, and the strong breeze (except when it was a head wind). The first 14 km or so were along dirt and sand trails and coastline. The rest of the day was on sealed surfaces, which was brutal on my feet. I saw some more wonderful beaches and because of the cooler weather, I had them all to myself - but, because it was cooler, I didn't want to get in. Though, I cannot deny that the water itself was very inviting. The highlight of the day was, finally, arriving in Brindisi to discover that it requires a ferry ride to get into the old city. The bonus was that I met a young local, who was very helpful and even paid my ferry fair for me (just €1.20)! I am exhausted but happy; I have my stamp, I've had my clothes laundered and I've had my Aperol Spitz!Read more
