Day 5
H-Day 3 - heat & tiredness (handicapped)
March 26, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
This was a tough day. Not regarding hiking. It was more about getting further with Lupo. He didn't want to get up in the morning, nor could he walk easily. I think he has had a tough time with sore muscles and what I realized later, that the dog bite from yesterday influenced his right back leg.
So handicapped we strolled to the next town. Unfortunately towns are often built into the hill here. So many long and steep stairs. Sometimes I carried him up.
The next problem has been water. During the day it is hot and 2l have been gone fast. Everything was closed and the fountains have been still dry. It took us long to get further.
On the other hand we've had luck at the butchers. We asked for leftovers and got really a lot. So Lupo has had at least a nice meal.

Day 98
A Treasure
February 2, 2019 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
This site as been occupied since the Bronze Age, but the ruins look as though they are not more than 100 years old. The important part however, is the part you don't see. For buried underneath this rubble - somewhere unspecified - there lies a fortune in treasure waiting to reveal itself to the right candidate. The lucky man will be the first Moor who rides a white horse 5 or 6 kilometres from the little church of San Giuseppe in the middle of Caltagirone to San Mauro. Unfortunately for him, he has to canter without spilling a drop of water from a brimming glass held in his hand. Of course, he is allowed to choose in which hand, left or right, to grasp it.
Nobody could tell me when the last Arab had attempted the feat, from which I deduce not too many have tried. Alas, I am not black enough.Read more
Tony Hammond Perhaps they should advertise it in the Moorish Times?
