Day 9: Vercelli - rest day
5月1日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 15 °C
I've taken my first rest day, and as far as I'm concerned, it's was a day late. I walked five days last year on the VF and then took a rest day, which seemed a little wimpy, so I thought I would see how far I could go this time around before I needed a break and I've come to the conclusion that it's only six days of walking! Vercelli is a terrific place to stop for an extra day - it's a very attractive city. I didn't do a great deal of walking as it was raining, and I wasn't willing to share the Great Pumpkin with this world. It's May Day here, and I was treated to the town band in a square nearby, and the bell tower behind my accommodation tolled the most delightful tune this morning. I then popped into a church (Paul the Apostle) and sat through mass - there was the most beautiful singing; even a hymn I knew! After that, I visited a most beautiful church (Saint Bernardo and Santuaries of our Lady of the sick), the Basilica of Saint Andrea (the first Abbot is recorded at 1226!) and they appear to have a copy of the Magna Carta on display! My last church was the Cathedral of Saint Andrea. I gave up after that as the rain got too heavy.もっと詳しく

旅行者 The sound of the bells bring me back to the town where I was born in Calabria. We lived very close to St. Antonio Di Padova and I woke to the ringing bell every morning, lunchtime and evening. Beautiful doesn’t begin to describe it. Thank Carmel for the reminder.

Day 8: Santhià to Vercelli
4月30日, イタリア ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
The most positive thing I have to say about today is that the terrain was mostly flat and that the weather was terrific. The most appropriate word to use to describe the walk (27.9 km) would be monotonous. At one point, I abandoned the Way and took to the main road so that I could avoid rambling through yet more farmland - which shaved a good few km off the length of the walk (about 30 km). The farm houses along the way were of no structural interest, and you can only take so much of tilled earth fields or water soaked paddocks before you are over them. Funnily enough, I had toyed with the idea of taking the train from Santhià to Vercelli because of how spent I'd been the day before. I'm not saying I wish I had, as there were some real highlights to the day, but I am saying that if you were to take the train, you wouldn't be missing much. I met a really lovely couple in the village of San Germano Vercellese, and while we were chatting in the park, two pilgrims doing the VF in reverse came by. Their end point is Lausanne. Now for the highlights: unbelievably, the church was open this morning before 8 am! I was so glad I checked on my way out of town. Again, I had to help myself to light up the crypt (Saint Stefano), and it was worth seeing. The next two highlights happened when I was walking on the main road: I saw what I believe is a marmot as the tail was thin (I now know this to be a Coypu) swimming in the Naviglia di Ivrea, and I startled a snake in the grass on the roadside! It was about 1/2 a metre in length and may have been a barred grass snake, which is non venomous, but it set my heart pounding! No photos, I'm afraid.もっと詳しく

Day 7: Viverone to Santhià
4月29日, イタリア ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
I woke this morning and no rain! What a difference a day makes. There were some clouds, but it was mostly a sunny walk (19.01 km) through woodland, tree lined roads, open roads (dirt, stones and tar), tree bordered fields, even one canal (Canali Cavour), and more serious agricultural properties as I got closer to Santhià. As my accommodation didn't start breakfast until 9:30 am, I was very kindly driven ("no need for a seatbelt") to a pasticceria so that I could eat something in the morning. However, I only had a croissant and coffee for breakfast, and it really made a difference to my stamina, and my daily food supplies couldn't cover the difference. I am exhausted! However, I got into Santhià in the early afternoon, so I made a beeline for my accommodation, and after a refreshing shower and change; I attempted to visit the church. No luck! I couldn't get in! I was disappointed as Saint Agata is the patron Saint of those who have recovered from breast cancer, and apparently, the images of her story are quite compelling. One funny story; I'd washed out my things and put them on the line in the sun. When I went to check on them, my undies were gone! A really lovely lady in the same compound had taken them by mistake! She apologised and invited me for coffee. Which I would have had if I had known the church would be locked! I'm currently sitting outside a bar having a lovely beer. Oh, and a bonus: I got two mandarins, obviously just off the tree, from a little fruit shop as I was walking along. One last thing; I saw a lot of pilgrims today, all going in the opposite direction. I can only assume they are doing the Cammino di Oropa.もっと詳しく

Day 6: Ivrea to Viverone
4月28日, イタリア ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
I had the most incredible meal last night. It was a tasting menu with pasta as the star. I made it through the first eight courses, all small servings (anchovies, three types of sliced cured pork, vegetables in tomato sauce, blue cream cheese on celery, baked cornmeal, beets, an eggplant dish with some small frittatas, and a really refreshing shaved radish dish) but, I could not eat anything more and had to skip the made on-site pasta! I left Ivrea early, but not before I gave the castle a quick once over (what I could see from the outside) and checked out the cathedral (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta). The cathedral was pretty dark with only very minimal lighting - luckily, there was natural light coming in from the high windows. Honestly, I felt lucky that it was even open before 8 am (though it is Sunday here). I managed to find the light switch for the crypt for Saint Gaudentius (the first bishop of Novara), but not until after I had walked around in there with my phone torch, and then I managed to get some photos of the beautiful art work from the 12th century. It rained the entire walk today, which has not bothered me anywhere near as much as it did last year. Now that I have the Great Pumpkin, I'm not stressed about keeping my front pockets dry, and the rain wasn't hard. The Way today (24.59 km) was more rural; trailing through small villages, along pathways around farm houses, and through vineyards. It really was quite lovely. My only complaint is that it got cold. Again, I had a hike to get to my accommodation, and again, it was worth it. I saw two VF Pilgrims today and could only exchange "buen camino" as we had no common language and met up with a young person who is doing the Cammino di Oropa over the next three days. She was lovely.もっと詳しく

Day 5: Pont-Saint-Martin to Ivrea
4月27日, イタリア ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
My accommodation last night was wonderful. My host drove me higher up the mountains to a place called Barmet so that I could eat dinner in a fabulous restaurant. The staff drove me back home! I have now left the beautiful Aosta Valley and am in the Piedmont region. Today's walk (26.94 km) was almost entirely joy filled. The scenery was picturesque and the waymarkers plentiful. I was just complimenting myself on not getting off track once, after passing yet another waymarker, when I checked the VF App to see how much farther the end point was, to discover to my horror, I was no where near the route! I backtracked, took a local path, and rejoined the Way! Oh, and it's official; I hate cobblestones! My calves are aching, and my hip is sore! Not to mention my poor feet. Also, it rained again today. A light rain; nothing dramatic - just cold really. The Great Pumpkin is serving me well.もっと詳しく

Viverone
2022年5月28日, イタリア ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Nach einer rund zweistündigen Fahrt in Richtung Aostatal erreichten wir Viverone. Am Camping La Rocca überstanden wir ein mittelgrosses Gewitter mit Hagel in Diegis VW-Bus. Der See bot eine angenehme Abkühlung hatte jedoch ziemlich viele Seepflanzen beheimatet. Von Viverone machten wir uns wieder auf in Richtung Simplon.もっと詳しく

Lago di Viverone
2月8日, イタリア ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
Um 03:45 Uhr war es bereits Zeit mit einem Holdrio (Hagenbuttentee mit Schuss) aufzustehen; Es geht an die Lozärner Fasnacht!

Als Pirat (Coni), Datenkraken (Laurin), Gemüsemetzger (Tim) und Verschlafene (Jasi) quetschten wir uns in den immer überfüllteren Bus richtung Zentrum.

Wider Laurins Ankündigung, dass sich der Start rauszögern wird, kam es schnurstracks zum Urknall und der Fritschivater inklusive Umzug begab sich zum Brunnen. Kurz darauf startete der Fötzeliregen und wir machten uns auf den Weg zu Laurins Stand.

Nach gut sechs Stunden Fasnacht und einigen Vodka-Mates begaben wir uns mit Coni zurück in ihre Wohnung. Es war Zeit für Ramen und einen Powernap. Wir wachten mit dem Wecker um 13:00 Uhr auf.

Mit dem Klapfi fuhren wir in die Stadt um uns von Jasmins Eltern zu verabschieden. Nach einer guten halben Stunde, welche wir mit ihnen am Bahnhof verbrachten, war es Zeit aufzubrechen.

Nun ging die grosse Reise los!
Erster Stopp: Menton, Frankreich

Google Maps ermittelte den schnellsten Weg; durch Italien :)) Jasmin fuhr los.

Nach dem Gotthardtunnel gab es den letzten Einkauf in der Schweiz: Migros IceTea, Bündnerfleisch und zwei Win4Life. Ab da an fuhr Tim weiter.

Nach einem sehr mühsamen Stau vor der italienischen Grenze sowie der Erkenntnis, dass man mit 80 km/h doch fast doppelt mal länger haben als mit voller Geschwindigkeit entschieden wir uns bereits in Viverone, Italien zu übernachten weil es auf halber Strecke zu Menton lag.

Um Kosten zu sparen entschieden wir uns für die letzten zwei Stunden auf Mautstrassen zu verzichten. Leider haben wir in der Hektik auch Autostrassen abgewählt. Dies führte uns durch ganz viele kleine Dörfer mit den dazugehörigen 1001 Kreiseln.

Mit dem Einbruch der Dunkelheit schweiften unsere Gedanken zum Abendessen und wir realisierten, dass wir für unseren Griechischen Salat noch Senf und Tartar in der Tube benötigen. Der nächstgelegene, bald schliessende Laden hatte beides, jedoch überzeugten uns die Angebote nicht wirklich. Wir fuhren zum Lidl und stellten fest, dass sie keine Tartarsauce verkaufen. So wurde es Senf im Glas :D

Endlich erreichten wir den See von Viverone, welchen wir mit Park4Night entdeckten. Viverone wirkte auf uns wie ein typischer Sommerort, komplett ausgestorben im Februar. Somit hatten wir einen direkten Platz am See.

Da es noch immer regnete, wie den ganzen Tag bereits, stellten wir weder die Markise noch unseren Outdoor-Essbereich auf. Wir assen im Auto und tranken ein Gläschen Rosé.

Durch die lange Fahrt, die etwas kühleren Temperaturen und den permanenten Regen schlugen auf Jasmins Gemütslage, weshalb wir uns für ein zeitiges Schlafengehen entschieden.

Die Nacht verlief unter Berücksichtigung der einzelnen vorbeifahrenden Autos eher ruhig, dennoch wurde man gelegentlich wach.

Sayonara Santorini, Goodbye Greece
2022年10月7日, イタリア ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
This was certainly our shortest European trip, but we had points to burn and a travel itch to scratch. I think it's the only overseas trip that hasn't involved a Chinese food fix! We did, however, grab some Italian food today. Our flight tomorrow is from Milan so today we flew Ryanair to Malpensa and caught the local train up to Arona to catch a glimpse of Lake Maggiore outside of winter. We'll be back at the Lakes this winter. Until then...home, James.もっと詳しく

Colosso di San Carlo
2022年9月5日, イタリア ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Heute machen wir eine Rundfahrt um den Lago Maggiore. Erste Station: die Statue des Erzbischofs Carlo Borromeo. Dieser wurde nach seinem Tod heilig gesprochen und daher wurde im 17. Jahrhundert diese große Statue erbaut. Sie ist aus Kupferplatten zusammengenagelt und insgesamt 35 m hoch.
Sie gehört damit mit der Freiheitsstatue zu den höchsten begehbaren Statuen der Welt.
Wir hatten uns also vorgenommen im Inneren bis nach ganz oben zu gehen. Daran sind wir leider gescheitert. Das letzte Stück musste man in einer engen Röhre eine super steile Leiter mit rutschigen Stufen hochklettern. Das war uns einfach zu steil und zu eng, sodass wir zwischendurch wieder umgekehrt sind.
Der Ausblick von der Mittelstation war trotzdem schon toll 😊もっと詳しく
