Fidenza

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!!!!!!! Czytaj więcej
