Hi all started walking From where we left off almost 3 years ago Sanitha. The very first day my friend had a groin injury. So I walked the first part on my own. I found the signage difficult to find certainly not enough and never seen another pilgrim for 20 K. The second day I walked the second section and found one Taverna advertising Pilgrims welcome. Unfortunately it I had a christening on that day and I wasn’t made welcome. Certainly not a lot of water en route luckily for me I have a water carrier that I would definitely recommend. I found it very difficult to get in touch with the chap who runs the ferry. And when we did make contact he had 20 students to take across so my friend and I had to walk the other route which was very boring and very hot.
The very same 20student took up all the hostal accommodation so we had the walk on to the next one .After 10 gruelling days we arrived in Piazenna .I was quite shocked that I only met one pilgrim.I really don’t think it has taken off.Also the locals don’t seem to get it that they will make more money if they are more welcoming towards us .I did see quite a few cyclists.Maybe that’s the way to do it .I will finish it as started in Canterbury.Really needs more signage more hostels more pilgrim lunch/dinner offers and shelters from the sun .
