Day 16: Roccaromana to Alife
11 April, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 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 theBaca selengkapnya
Day 15: Teano to Roccaromana
10 April, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 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 otherBaca selengkapnya
Day 14: Sessa Aurunca to Teano
9 April, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 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 RomanBaca selengkapnya
Day 13: Minturno to Sessa Aurunca
8 April, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 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 perfectlyBaca selengkapnya
Day 12: Formia to Minturno
7 April, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 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 andBaca selengkapnya
Day 11: Formia - rest day
6 April, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 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 fromBaca selengkapnya
Day 10: Itri to Formia
5 April, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 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 itBaca selengkapnya
Day 9: Fondi to Itri
4 April, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 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. IBaca selengkapnya
Day 8: Terracina to Fondi
3 April, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 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 gatedBaca selengkapnya
Day 7: Fossanova to Terracina
2 April, Italia ⋅ ☁️ 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 poorBaca selengkapnya
Day 6: Sezze to Fossanova
1 April, Italia ⋅ ☁️ 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 aBaca selengkapnya
Day 5: Sermoneta to Sezze
31 Maret, Italia ⋅ ☁️ 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,Baca selengkapnya
Day 4: Cori to Sermoneta
30 Maret, Italia ⋅ ☁️ 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 theBaca selengkapnya
Day 3: Velletri to Cori
29 Maret, Italia ⋅ ☁️ 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 (lakeBaca selengkapnya
Day 2: Castel Gandolfo to Velletri
28 Maret, Italia ⋅ 🌙 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 IBaca selengkapnya
Day 1: Rome to Castel Gandolfo
27 Maret, Italia ⋅ ⛅ 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 neverBaca selengkapnya
Day 0: Rome
26 Maret, Italia ⋅ ☁️ 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 amBaca selengkapnya
Second stop: Chicago
25 Maret, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ⛅ 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 Maret, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ☁️ 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 Maret, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 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 aBaca selengkapnya
