      Day 2

      Über die Berge zum Podere Riosto

      May 4 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      Der Wecker klingelt 🙈 um 8:00 setzen wir uns in Bewegung und nehmen die nächsten 600 km unter die Räder.
      Wir rollen kostenpflichtig (Ü3,5 t) durch den Pfänder und springen fix in die Schweiz. Über den Gotthard gibt es nicht allzu schöne Ausblicke. Haben wir doch Nebel…an der Grenze zu Italien ist Stau. Irgendwie erwischen wir hier die falsche Spur und schwups durch🤣🤣.
      Wir wollen heute zum Podere Riosto. Vor 9 Jahren haben wir hier schon einmal eine wunderschöne Zeit verbracht.

      Die Wirtin freut sich. Wir bekommen einen schönen Übernachtungsplatz. Genießen die Aussicht ehe wir um 19:00 Uhr zum Essen gehen. Eine Hochzeitsgesellschaft isst gerade Kuchen. Das Vorspeisenbuffet ist auch für uns und sehr lecker. Die zweite Vorspeise bekommen wir am Tisch. Wir sitzen mit einem 40, Geburtstag im Raum. Es war soo lustig. Der Kellner versorgte uns immer wieder mit Wein. Wir schwelgten in Erinnerung 🤣. Hätten wir nicht die 600 km in den Beinen gehabt… es wäre spät geworden 😀

      Wer Lust bekommen hat: vorher anmelden!
      Die Weine sind sehr gut . Sehr empfehlenswert ist der Pignoletto.

      Day 19

      Day 15: Orio Litta to Piacenza

      May 7 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Last night, I was in Pilgrim accommodation with two French pilgrims who did not share their names - even after I explained that I was Australian (i.e. not British) - their end point is Lucca. I had the second best meal I've had since I've been in Italy that night at the "Sports" bar. It was another great day along the Way today. The section itself was 25.28 km, but about 4 km of that was by a small boat, the "ferry", along the mighty Po river! Almost all of the walking route today was roadside, but thankfully, the first few kms up to the Po river offered an alternative through nice dirt and grass lanes. Just after we, the French women and I, got off the Ferry, two large fallen trees blocked the path (which was raised above the fields below), and we had to climb over and under the trunks and branches to make our way forward! Just after I got through that mess, I saw my first deer! The photo I took is not great, but at least it is something. Not long after that, the rain started again, and the Great Pumpkin was called into service. Piacenza is quite a large place. I will do some exploring tomorrow. According to my guidebook, there are 309 km between Echevennoz (where I started) and Piacenza, and it's 685 km to Rome! I'm getting there.Read more

      Day 16: Piacenza - rest day

      May 8 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      First thing, I went to the post office to send back some warm things. I got there just after 9 am and wasn't finished until just before 11:30! What a rigmarole! After that, I checked out some churches, walked through the morning markets, and visited the tourist information office, and Sylvia sorted some accommodation for me - I'd tried to ring the night before, but no one there had any English. Then I had a lovely lunch. The blow for the day came when I went to walk through the modern art gallery, and it was closed. My fault, I should have checked the opening times. So, I went back to my hotel and had a siesta.Read more

      Day 17: Piacenza to Fiorenzuola d'Arda

      May 9 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      A big day of walking today (33.67 km). I added about 2 km to that by getting off track! It was a very pleasant rural countryside to walk through, with some mountains in the distance, but with very little shade. My legs got sunburnt even though I started the day with sunscreen. My recommendation for anyone doing the VF in Italy is to wear the most cushioned shoes you can find as you will be walking on a lot of sealed surfaces - either on the roadside itself or the paths adjacent to those roads. It gets very wearing. Luckily, about 6 km before the end, there was a long section of dirt road, which eased my discomfort somewhat. That road brought me to my first quagmire! I was able to avoid the mud on the first side but slogged through the mud on the other side. My boots look very second-hand now. I met four Italian pilgrims today, one French pilgrim and a British couple. Only the British couple and I are going all the way to Rome.Read more

      Day 18: Fiorenzuola d'Arda to Fidenza

      May 10 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

      Another beautiful day, where it got quite warm and with another day of mostly roadside walking - broken up with a stretch of dirt and gravel road. I'm not completely happy with all the hard surfaces, but it's also the safety aspect. The roads are narrow and the cars are fast! I got some good news from one of the British pilgrims; I've been assured that it doesn't last. I hope so; my boots are not designed for this (nor are my poor little feet). Again, the walk (23.51 km) was through a green and lush rural environment with mountains in the background: very pretty. The highlights of the day were the Abbey (Abbazia di Chiaravalle della Colomba) and the Cathedral here in Fidenza (Cattedrale di San Donnino). I've got a big walk ahead of me tomorrow and still have not managed to find a place to stay! I've sent heaps of emails but have only received one reply - a rejection. I'm going to try to ring later - wish me luck.
      P.S. crisis averted. I now have accommodation in Fornovo!!!!!!!      Read more

      Day 29

      Zweiter tag am Meer Comacchio

      May 10 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      Heute morgen war ich ne stunde Sonnenbaden. Hier ist echt noch nicht viel los, aber es wird geschäftig auf den Ansturm vorbereitet. Überall werden hunderte von Sonnenschirmen eingesteckt, Wege gelegt, Sand geglättet etc. Wie gut das ich dann nicht da sein werde, echt gruselig. Als dann die bum bum Musik anfing,bin ich gegangen und habe,was wohl, eine Radtour gemacht. Hatte mir eine Tour von der App komoot genommen und es funktionierte nicht. Schon nach 6 km kam ich an eine Stelle wo es nicht weiterging. Also hab ich mir den Weg zum Teil selber gesucht, wirklich schön über den See mit dem Rad zu fahren , schmaler Weg links und rechts Wasser und ein paar Möwen. das waren mindestens 7 km. Aber dann wurde es echt mies, so viele Fliegen so das ich mir die Hand vors Gesicht halten musste, also hab ich einen anderen Weg gesucht. Mit einer kl. Fahre 500 m übergesetzt und dann wurde es schwierig. Einmal schickte mich die App auf eien recht guten Feldweg der aber nach 3 km einfach aufhörte. Also zurück, das andere mal landete ich vor einem gesperrten Gebiet, Trinkwasserversorgung. Nicht noch mal umkehren, also an der Seite mich durchgezwängt und gehofft das es keine videoüberwachung gibt. Am Ende dann nur Wiese und ein winziger Trammpelfad nach unten, verwegen das Fahrrad runtertergeschoben und siehe da, es gab einen Weg. Mit ganz vielen Gebäuden die Fischernetzte zum Wasser hin hängen hatten, wenn die alle fischen dann ist der Fluss leer.
      Dann noch ne Weile über eine von riesigen LKW sehr heftig befahrene Straße. Nach 5-6St. Wieder am Bus. Leider wird man von den Stechern aufgefressen, deswegen geht's morgen weiter.      Read more

      Day 23

      Day 19: Fidenza to Fornovo di Taro

      May 11 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      I was up, breakfasted, and out before 7:30, leaving Fidenza through the lovely tree lined streets. I left early because I had a long way to go. Mercifully, there was a lot less road walking today. I seem to have passed through the even, shall I say flat, lands for now. Todays walk (35.23 km) was up and down and round about and included some woodland walking - just the way I like it. I didn't get to Fornovo until about 5:30 (so ten hours of walking) only to discover I had another 5 km to go to my accommodation. Luckily, a local political, canvassing for votes in the square outside the church, was able to direct me to the pilgrim accommodation who I had WhatsApped last night and said they had a place! There are four pilgrims here tonight; a Korean (who does the Camino Santiago every 2 years - he says the VF is a warm up for his Camino this year; from Saville), a French woman, and the French pilgrim, male, I met a few days earlier.Read more

      Day 24

      Day 20: Fornovo di Taro to Cassio

      May 12 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      A, hard, but magnificent day of walking (23.08 km). I took it as slowly and as easy as I could as well as taking lots of breaks. Unfortunately, the first 13 km was all road walking - consistently upwards (from 158m at Fornovo to about 450m). The road walking then changed to a rocky mountain track and gave some very welcome shade. Over the course of the next part of the walk, I rose to almost 900 (887m), but, as you know, what goes up must come down, and so I climbed and descended a number of times to settle at 815m at Cassio. I have finally walked in a forest, hence the use of the word magnificent! I've seen a lot of push bikes and motorbikes today - the mountain roads attract them. I did not see one pilgrim as I walked, but the two French pilgrims I was with last night are here with me tonight, as well as six additional French pilgrims! As wonderful as todays walk was, the thrill of the day was coming upon a death match between a lizard and a snake! I thought the lizard was done for, but as I edged past them on the narrow path, the lizard broke free and the snake chased after it (thankfully in the opposite direction) - both were very fast!Read more
