Day 16: Roccaromana to Alife
11. April in Italien ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Today was a real adventure - the Way (21.16 km) can really surprise you! It started off well enough, the climb out of Roccaromana was difficult and very much worth the effort. The view from theWeiterlesen
Day 15: Teano to Roccaromana
10. April in Italien ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
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 otherWeiterlesen
Day 14: Sessa Aurunca to Teano
9. April in Italien ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Another terrific walking day - the sun was shinning and the sky a beautiful blue. The Way (17.02 km) was mostly on dirt roads and, when sealed, on minor back roads or the rocks of an ancient RomanWeiterlesen
Day 13: Minturno to Sessa Aurunca
8. April in Italien ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Minturno turned out to be a bit of a dark horse; immediately within the vicinity of my accommodation was a Roman acqeduct (which is now a walkway - I wish I had had the time to walk it), a perfectlyWeiterlesen
Day 12: Formia to Minturno
7. April in Italien ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
I began the day with a spring in my step, humming a tune, and feeling that all was right with the world. The rest day made all the difference and being able to drift off to sleep without any aches andWeiterlesen
Day 11: Formia - rest day
6. April in Italien ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Another beautiful sunny day. I really don't have anything to report and very few photos. I had a lovely meal last night and a nice sleep in. My greatest accomplishment today was getting a stamp fromWeiterlesen
Day 10: Itri to Formia
5. April in Italien ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
I woke this morning to two small blood spots, around shoulder height, on my sheets! I'm trying not to think about bed bugs - but what else could have caused them? The day promised to be warm and itWeiterlesen
Day 9: Fondi to Itri
4. April in Italien ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
I had the privilege last night to witness a religious parade through Fondi - complete with a draped cross, three statues, a band, a priest leading the prayers, and a very large procession of people. IWeiterlesen
Day 8: Terracina to Fondi
3. April in Italien ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
The Way (24.7 km) turned inland, but not before I got some awesome views of the coastline. The first gated path, a rough, rocky and steep track, appropriately contained goats and the second gatedWeiterlesen
Day 7: Fossanova to Terracina
2. April in Italien ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Today I left the mountains and headed toward the sea. I'm excited to see my first Italian beach. The Way (22.9 km) was entirely flat and with only about 1 km that was not along the roadside (my poorWeiterlesen
Day 6: Sezze to Fossanova
1. April in Italien ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
So far every morning has come with a bit of a heart starter, usually in the form of a steep walk out of town. Today's walk did require a climb when leaving the town, but the heart starter came with aWeiterlesen
Day 5: Sermoneta to Sezze
31. März in Italien ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
I had a wonderful breakfast of homemade marmalade, a speciality of the house - it was chock full of rind and skin - delicious. After a false start when I had to return, after walking over a kilometer,Weiterlesen
Day 4: Cori to Sermoneta
30. März in Italien ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
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 theWeiterlesen
Day 3: Velletri to Cori
29. März in Italien ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
An eventful day for a lot of very small reasons. The Way was on too many sealed roads (not great for my feet) but was a pleasant walk (21.71 km) through cultivated land, beside another lake (lakeWeiterlesen
Day 2: Castel Gandolfo to Velletri
28. März in Italien ⋅ 🌙 10 °C
The morning was quite crisp - 5° C, the sky was blue and the sun promised to be warm. I was on my way by 7 am and was again reminded why I love Italy; I got a coffee and some fresh fruit before IWeiterlesen
Day 1: Rome to Castel Gandolfo
27. März in Italien ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C
It was a great first day of walking. A little longer than I would have liked (31.19km), but very enjoyable all the same, even though it ended with a reasonably demanding climb - oh, Italy, you neverWeiterlesen
Day 0: Rome
26. März in Italien ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C
I landed in Rome this morning around 7:30 am and it took some time to get out of the airport as we had to be bused across the tarmac to a passport check point! I don't know about anyone else, but I amWeiterlesen
Second stop: Chicago
25. März in den USA ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
I slept most of the four hour flight from LAX to O'Hare; it was easy as everyone had their windows shutters closed. Next stop Rome!
P.S. I got a latte in the airport and it's drinkable (with sugar).
First stop: LAX
25. März in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
I've arrived safe and sound in Los Angeles. The border security line was so much better than it was the last time I was here and airport staff seem a great deal more friendly! Next stop Chicago!
Heading out
25. März in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
I'm at the airport, I've checked in my backpack (weight: 6.7 kg), passed security and am now sitting at my gate. Im not too excited yet as I have a two hour wait ahead of me. In case I don't get aWeiterlesen
