Fiorenzuola d'Arda - Tabiano di Terme 22 km, 28th of September
28 september 2022 - Bagni di Tabiano, Italië
As I mentioned yesterday, I deviated from the official track because it wasn't possible to find accommodation in Fidenza. Google maps was good to have, but led only over asfalt paved rural roads albeit not with a lot of traffic. The landscape changed however dramatically from the last 10 days and we are back in the hills and clearly approaching the mountains of the Appenines. Bagni (bath) di Tabiano and neighbouring Salsomaggiore Terme was for sure once famous for its salt springs ( salt water also containing Bromide (!) came up from 700 m deep) and many big and small luxury hotels still bear witness of high society and bath houses and good times long gone. Not many visitors anymore and it was thus easy to find a comfortable hotel for a small price. I even could use the spa facilities and it was a treat!
I forgot to mention that I had a cold and felt ill yesterday. After a good nights sleep and some Enchina Forte I bought at the pharmacy I felt a lot better to day and good enough to walk. Luckily it was partly overcast such that it didn't get hot.
Tomorrow I'll try to get back on track towards Fornovo di Taro (according to Google 28 km on Tarmac) and will probably meet the other pilgrims again.
Alles goed?
En nu de mooie Apennijnen in. Voor jou natuurlijk 'peanuts' met je klimervaring in Noorwegen.
Heb weer een mooie dag!
Ik heb het niet uitgerekend, maar ik denk dat ik nu wel over de helt ben en er nog wel iets over de 500 te gaan heb tot Rome 😘
Voorlopig vond ik de tocht naar Santiago fijner lopen, maar ik ben er nog lang niet.. Ik hoop van harte dat de Behandling aan je voeten helpt. Groet 👋
