Day 18,19 - Adriana (38 kms), Molfetta ( 29 kms)

Early start, careful on the roads in the dark, Canosa di Puglia just like all the other towns, kip mostly, reasonable centre, as previously mentioned, rubbish is everywhere in and out of towns. I think this was my last long stage left, my Air B&B has gone off grid, hopefully not for too long as I need the code to get in. It also turned out to be a kip.

Roman Bridge before Canosa di Puglia

The following day had a nice three hour walk in the rain on busy road followed by another 2.5 hours to Molfetta. This was the only picture I took all day but I like it. Only in Italy. Narrower than Douglas Street. Feet are killing me, and my boots are starting to disintegrate. They’ll make it though.

Why is Spain?  Some people like descending, I don’t, I hate it, especially over rough ground and with no phone signal. If you fall or slip going up, no big deal usually, but if you fall going down, you can do some serious damage to yourself. Especially with a pack. You really need a stick. And despite lots of trees around all the loose stuff was damp. Anyway I did get down safety but it was no fun. Massive concentration and promises to God etc. I meant it at the time.

Finding bodies

I dreamt that I discovered a body on the beach. That would be exciting. Then I thought how would I tell the cops? I don’t speak Italian. Then I thought what if the body was actually my body. That would also be tricky to explain.  I could shrug a lot I suppose. But if I was on the phone. “I think I have found a body. Yes, he looks dead. I think it’s me.”
