The sun continues. And while yesterday started off very cool and didn’t get too warm, today feels a lot warmer. We are making this a slow trip through the Apennines – only about 11 kms today. Yesterday, felt strong and the pack felt lighter, and DC must be on the improve as he was ahead all day (though slept a lot of the arvo). Today, it should be a far easier day, but feels harder. We slept in – not on our way till 9.45.
Starts off with easy walking, mainly on the road for first few kms. Minimal traffic and no safety issues. And then into the woods and up. Through villages, farms and more woods until we eventually reach our destination.
All day there are amazing views.
The final approach to Berceto was hard. While climbing over the three stiles with barbed wire left and right, I congratulated myself on making sure my tetanus injection was updated before leaving home. And even though we could see the village below, the track first takes you steeply uphill (DC: “That was totally unnecessary!”) before a steep descent to enter the town next to the castle ruins.
A bit of sightseeing followed by Pizza and calzone for dinner. Unfortunately the gelateria was closed when we left the pizzeria.
Salve.
Richo and DC 
Absolutely loving your commentary and pics xxx
