La Spezia to Manarola 24/8/17
24/8/17 Thursday
Rest day
La Spezia- Manarola
A dry 26 deg in the evening
Leave 0755.
Lose Boot- probably in the train.
Arrive in Manarola and have to wait for room to be vacated.
Meet some funny, friendly Aussies
swimming down by the rocks.
A sizeable dinner eaten and drunk on an
upturned drawer on my bed: Chianti/pesto/couscous salad.
Italy is so loud! The first assault of
the early morning is from trucks that sweep the kerbs and streets,
then the rubbish trucks that roar up and squeal to a halt, followed
by a crescendo of bottle-smashing around recycle bin points, add in a
chorus of roosters, church bells chiming and clanging, calls of
'Ciao, ciao' and doors on delivery vans sliding open and shut, open
and shut. There is a reprieve at siesta.
A pilgrim lifestyle fits in well-
except when the pilgrim is on a rest-day!
