MichaelC replied to the thread Laundry on the Francigena.I ended up using laundromats a few times between Lucca and Rome. Even when there was a washing area, the drying area would often be a rack near an open window, but not exposed to the sun. I never had a host offer to wash clothes for me. -

MichaelC replied to the thread Lucca to Rome - a retrospective.I usually appreciate solitude, and enjoy walking alone. I didn't actually feel lonely until the last four or five days. In part it was knowing that there were other pilgrims on the trail (we all met in Vetralla), and kicking myself for going...
