      Day 13. Passo della Consuma

      September 8, 2017 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      A little stiff this morning as we eased ourselves up the mountain for Diacetto. A steady climb. Got lost once but we made it for coffee and dolci. This was followed by about 5 kms on a quiet lane. We met Kathren, Belgian, as we rested on a bench before entering the forest and the afternoon's climb.
      The track had been chewed up badly by the loggers and this made it difficult on the steeper sections. We had plenty of shade in the forest, which was welcome. The total climb was 1050 metres. We were glad to arrive in Consuma.
      Our hostess drove us about 500ms to the accommodation. We had a 3 bedroom house to ourselves. Irina drove us to and from for dinner and breakfast.
      Gerry and Alice(Americans) who we met yesterday were supposed to have dinner with us but they were billeted about 25kms away. Dinner was Kathryn, Ronald(Dutch) and ourselves. It made for a pleasant evening.

      Day 14. Stia

      September 8, 2017 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      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.
