    Day 37. Montelibretti.

    September 30, 2017 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    We were off and walking by 8am, downhill to the village and continuing down before the 1st of 3 steepish climbs. The weather was great , sunshine with a cool breeze. Although by the afternoon it was starting to warm up.
    Its not very often you get 3 evenly spaced coffee breaks as today, with the first in Poggio Corese, then Aquaviva and finally at our destination. 17 kms today through mostly olive groves. The cyclamen are still around us.
    I have included a photo of the rubbish that the Italians blight there countryside with. The rubbish bins overflow in the villages because the council collection is spasmodic. So they though by the side of the lanes.
    The hunting season is open and the hot blooded Italians are out in force. There were some anxious moments with the shot guns going off around us.
    We had a pleasant meal and retired early in preparation of a long walk tomorrow.
