Again, wonderful walking, climbing and weather. When it is this good I always expect a 'sting in the tail' and am rarely disappointed. This time I am the cause. We have walked well, climbing, but never too painfully and negotiating some of the off-road routes that we had rejected with our bikes in 2007. Midday, we stop for a sandwich and then proceed to Terenzo, a small village perched on one of the hillsides, where a man comes out of his garden to ask where we are going. It turns out that he is a guide writer too and wants to know more about us. I look for Paul's wallet to give him one of our business cards and the sting hits its target. I have left the wallet in the Ladies toilet of the bar where we stopped for lunch, some 4kms back. Paul insists on returning, I wait, and finally some 30 minutes later he is back, faster because he has been given a lift by the bar owner. And so we move on, Nellie and I stopping often, she to eat and I to take photos of the new flowers I keep discovering and finally Cassio – a small, typical village on the Cisa pass – incredible views.
Accommodation – a basic hostel, presumably state run, good value at 7 euros. Horses accepted.
