Arezzo ~ Camucia 31km

1. Today’s headline photo is the ruins of the Roman Amphitheater in Arezzo.

2. Today, I had no choice but to walk another 8km from the originally scheduled 23km point. It was a long distance of 31 km, unintended.

3. Arezzo has a population of about 100,000 people. But it is a wealthy city with a tumultuous history.

58. After having a sufficient lunch at a Chinese restaurant around this time,

59. I arrived at the planned lodging at the 23km point around 3 pm. The problem occurred here.

60. It is scheduled, but it is not booked online. Because of poor English over the phone, I temporarily reserved it. But it was a mistake. After all, the lodging was closed today. It’s a remote place, so mobile phone internet is not working. It’s kind of a crisis.

61. Information collection comes first. I take my heavy body and move to an area where internet communication is possible.
After moving, I searched and found out that there was no alternative lodging nearby. Bus transportation is also available in a couple of hours.
The alternative is to retreat 3 km or advance 8 km.

62. I cannot retreat. Inevitably, it became a long distance of 31 km.
Fortunately, it was windy in the afternoon, It was not difficult to walk.

63. The temperature I checked while walking was not very high.

64.

65. I took a selfie with children playing with their parents in the yard.

66. I met a bar in the middle of 8km section.

67. This bar sells fresh fruits in bowls. The price is 3 euros. It’s seasonal fruit and it’s cheap.

68. I ordered a piece of watermelon because I was still thirsty. It’s cool. My thirst disappeared.

69.

70. It is a citadel on the mountain where the lodging is located.

71.

72. The center of town is called Camucia. The lodging is next to it.

I was exhausted from an unexpected long distance. I was knocked out as soon as I arrived at the lodging.
