We're walking south on the Via Francigena Sud, from Rome to Santa Maria di Leuca on the heel of Italy.
Least year we walked from Canterbury to Rome and returning to Rome for this journey felt like we were coming back to finish the task. It doesn't hurt that the food in this part of Italy is delicious, the locals very friendly and the countryside varied.
We've been surprised that quite a few local people know what we are doing as the route was only officially sanctioned just before COVID. So doing this pilgrimage is a lovely combination of feeling a little like a pioneer while having a guidebook, an App and accommodation lists.
This is our story of walking out of Rome on the first stage of the Via Francigena Sud.
