Castelvetrano

Tough start today. Alarm clock rang late. 5:30
Actually to start at 6am at dawn.
I left the spot at 6:20.

It's hard to pack all the wet stuff together and get into these wet and cold socks and shoes. I'm starting in shorts.

Like yesterday, the given gps track is a bit strange. It is hard to find the way, if there is one. Lots of private property signs, gates and signs of cameras. Posten you can see holes in the fences etc., where people walk through. Even the grass is often stepped down. You have no clue if it is okay to go further or not. Probably a lovely dog will greet you behind that fence.
Anyway.

We entered a beach again. Immediately you realize on the path that everything gets slippery. The clay sticks at your shoes like crazy. They get heavier and heavier.
The beach degrades down to the water a lot. This makes walking much harder for me. Above is the sand so soft that walking is hard. Closer to the shore it gets first water soaked and this is even tougher to walk. Second, the sand gets compact, and thus fast to hike. My problem is my ankle. It degrades always to the left side and I feel my right outer ankle. The shoe presses into my feet. And it does not change, cause I do not switch direction.
Additionally the sea water is chasing you on that hard sand. You often sprint, because the water is approaching fast. A bit tricky.

This beach changed from sand to rocks and vice versa. Some parts are through dense bush. Nice to get wet and cold led l legs. You get this additionally to the light drizzle. Absolutely enjoyable. But at least, very far away, you can already see the next stop. Some house pretty tiny on the horizon. This must be Selinunte. I hope the Pasticeria is waiting with a Caffé Lungo for me.
...
The day has been very windy. Blowing from inland. Not from the sea direction like the last days. In the afternoon or started to rain again. Sometimes more, sometimes less. After one stronger shower we've passed a sport track.a sandy piste which friend a circle I guess. Lots of banks standing around for people watching the event. Nobody there and protected by trees. And a small hut. So I decided to stop and dry my stuff in the wind. Cool done noodles and wait.
The weather forecast predicts even more wind and also rain. Lupo feel asleep immediately. So I decide to stay. It is early, but we take some rest.
