Day 14. Stia

Irina picked us up for breakfast at 7-30 and we breakfasted with K & R. We left at 8 but the other two waited for the Americans and the two Aussies we have yet to meet.
We looked over pass but it was shrouded in mist.
Today was supposed to be an easier day, mainly downhill, with some ascents. Didn't feel like that.
Shirl was having back problems so it made it a very difficult
day. Beat in mind the only way out is to walk. It was a struggle for her. I took the heavier items out of her to try and ease the load. We made it but what an ordeal for Shirl.
Shirl's back injury is similar to the one she experienced on the South West Coast walk.
As soon as we arrived she showered and after a massaged and some painkillers she went to bed to get as much rest as possible.
In the meantime I had to re-arrange our itinerary. The biggest problem is transport in these remote areas.
There is always. solution to all problems and by the time Shirl had rested the problem was solved
We will remain on Stia tomorrow and then travel by bus for two days in Badia Prataglia, an original stop for us.
Then two days in Sansecolpro before, hopefully continuing to walk.
I had already programmed som rest days. Little later on and we will still have them.
In the evening we went to dinner and finally met up with Sandie and Roxanne, two Aussies from Perth. There were 8 of us for a very pleasant dinner. Non stop conversation.
A good night pity I left my mobile in the room.Leer más
